Question
Identify, with reason, if the following is a Pythagorean triplet.
(10, 24, 27)
Advertisements
Solution
In the triplet (10, 24, 27),
102 = 100, 242 = 576, 272 = 729 and 100 + 576 = 676 ≠ 729
The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ (10, 24, 27) is not a pythagorean triplet.
