Hey there! :)

Answer:

Choices 1, 4 and 5.

Explanation:

To solve, we can go through each answer choice and check if they are Pythagorean Triples using the Pythagorean Theorem:

1) 26² = 10² + 24²

676 = 100 + 576

676 = 676. This is correct.

2) 49² = 14² + 48²

2401 = 196 + 2304

2401 ≠ 2500. This is incorrect.

3)

16² = 12² + 9²

256 = 144 + 81²

256 ≠ 225. This is incorrect.

4)

41² = 40² + 9²

1681 = 1600 + 81

1681 = 1681. This is correct.

5)

25² = 15² + 20²

625 = 225 + 400

625 = 625. This is correct.

Therefore, choices 1, 4 and 5 are correct.
