Answer:
D. No, because the given numbers do not satisfy the equation a² + b² = c²
Explanation:
For the set of numbers; 24, 20, 32, to form a pythagorean triple, they must satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².
Where, c is the longest side (hypotenuse), while a and b are the two other legs.
Let's find out.
a = 20, b = 24, c = 32
Plug in the value into the equation
20² + 24² = 32²
976 = 1,024 (this is not true).
976 is not equal to 1,024.
The set of given numbers does not form a pythagorean triple because it does not satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².
