Solution
It is known that, if in a triplet of natural numbers, the square of the biggest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers, then the three numbers form a Pythagorean triplet.
The given set of numbers is (3, 4, 5).
The biggest number among the given set is 5.
52 = 25; 42 = 16; 32 = 9
Now, 16 + 9 = 25
∴ 42 + 32 = 52
Thus, (3, 4, 5) form a Pythagorean triplet.
