Question

Ques

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Pythagorean triple the square on the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

A

longest side = 10 ⇒ 10² = 100

6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100

A is a Pythagorean triple

B

longest side = 17 ⇒ 17² = 289

8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289

B is a Pythagorean triple

C

longest side = 9 ⇒ 9² = 81

5² + 8² = 25 + 64 = 89

89 ≠ 81

C is not a Pythagorean triple

D

longest side = 13 ⇒ 13² = 169

5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169

D is a Pythagorean triple
