Question

A right triangle has a hypotenuse length of 60, and one side length of 24. Do the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple? Explain.

Answer 1

You can test this using the equation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

24^2 + b^2 = 60^2

576 + b^2 = 3,600

b^2 = 3,024

b = 54.999

Since b is not a whole number, the side lengths do not form a Pythagorean triple.
