Question

(5, 8, 17) whether the following triplets are Pythagorean or not?

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Thereom is a square plus b square = c square

25 + 64 is not equal to 289.

Answer 2

Using the pythagorean theorem we have :

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ (assuming a < b < c)

Replace the number, we have :

$5^{2} + 8^{2} = 17^{2}$
$25 + 64 = 289$ (not true)

So, this triplet is not available for the pythagorean.
