Question

Identify, with reason, if the following is a Pythagorean triplet.
(24, 70, 74)

Answer 1

In the triplet (24, 70, 74),
24² = 576, 70² = 4900, 74² = 5476 and 576 + 4900 = 5476
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ (24, 70, 74) is a pythagorean triplet.
