If we apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the Egyptian knots we can see that 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^23 2 +4 2 =5 2 . Which of the sets of three numbers listed would also let you form a right angle in this way? Choose all answers that apply: CHOOSE ALL THE ANSWERS THAT APPLY :

A) { 1,1,1 }
B) { 51, 149, 140 }
C) { 16, 63, 65 }
D) { 6, 11, 8 }

Answer:

B) { 51, 149, 140 }

C) { 16, 63, 65 }

Explanation:

We need to choose Pythagoras theorem formula


c^2=a^2+b^2

now, we can verify each options

option-A:

a=1

b=1

c=1

now, we can verify formula


1^2=1^2+1^2


1=2

We can see that left side is not equal to right side

so, this is FALSE

option-B

a=51

b=140

c=149

now, we can verify formula


149^2=51^2+140^2


22201=22201

We can see that left side is equal to right side

so, this is TRUE

option-C

a=16

b=63

c=65

now, we can verify formula


65^2=16^2+63^2


4225=4225

We can see that left side is equal to right side

so, this is TRUE

option-D:

a=6

b=8

c=11

now, we can verify formula


11^2=6^2+8^2


121=100

We can see that left side is not equal to right side

so, this is FALSE
