Question

Choose the correct alternative:

Out of given triplets, which is a Pythagoras triplet?

Options

• (1, 5, 10)

• (3, 4, 5)

• (2, 2, 2)

• (5, 5, 2)

Answer 1

(3, 4, 5)

Here, 5² = 25

3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25

∴ 5² = 3² + 4²

The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.

∴ (3, 4, 5) is a Pythagoras triplet.
