Question

Which of the following are Pythagorean triplets?

• A. 4 cm , 6 cm , 8 cm
• B. 2 cm , 17 cm , 9 cm
• C. 24 cm , 10 cm , 26 cm
• D. 13 cm , 27 cm , 30 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is C

24 cm , 10 cm , 26 cm

Pythagorean triplets are those set of numbers which satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.

Considering the options given to us –

$8^2\ne 4^2+6^2$

${17}^2\ne 2^2+9^2$

${26}^2={24}^2+{10}^2$

${30}^2\ne {27}^2+{13}^2$

Therefore, 24, 10 and 26 are Pythagorean triplets.
