For the pair of numbers, find a third whole number such that the three numbers form a Pythagorean triple.

30,40

Answer 1

50

Explanation:

let a= 30

b= 40

c= ?

According to Pythagoras theorem

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

`c^(2)`=
`30^(2)` +
`40^(2)`

`c^(2)`= 900 + 1600

`c^(2)`= 2500

c=
`√(2500)`

c=50

Answer 2
