Question

Which definition best describes Pythagorean triples? A. Sets of three whole numbers (a, b, and c) that satisfy the equation

B. Pairs of numbers, a and b, such that a2 = b2

C. Any three numbers, each of which is squared

D. Sets of three whole numbers (a, b, and c) that satisfy the equation

Answer 1

Option C) Any three numbers, each of which is squared is correct

Explanation:

By using Pythagorean Theorem:

Pythagorean theorem is also called as Pythagoras' theorem. It is a fundamental relation among the three sides of a right triangle.

It states that the length of the square of hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the lengths of the squares of the opposite side and adjacent side.

`a^(2)+b^(2)=c^(2)`

where c is the length of the hypotenuse side and a and b are the lengths of the opposite and adjacent sides of triangle's.

Therefore Option C) Any three numbers, each of which is squared is correct
