(5, 12, 13)
Advertisements
Solution
In the triplet (5, 12, 13),
52 = 25,
122 = 144,
132 = 169
52 + 122 = 25 + 144 = 169
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ (5, 12, 13) is a pythagorean triplet.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, ho much string does she have out (see Figure)? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?
