Question

Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?

O 16, 32, 36
O 8, 12, 16
O 3,4, 5
O 9, 10,

Answer 1

3,4,5

Explanation:

Here, we want to select the set that could work and the sides of a right angled triangle

the correct answer is 3,4,5

These set are called a Pythagorean triple

This is because adding the square of the two smaller number will give the square of the largest number

What we are saying here is that by adding the square of 3 and 4, we get the square of 5 which illustrates that Pythagoras theorem works for the set
