Question
Find the Pythagorean triplet from among the following set of numbers.
9, 40, 41
Solution
The given set of numbers is (9, 40, 41).
We use the Pythagorean theorem:
Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2
∴ 412 = 92 + 402
1681 = 81 + 1600
∴ 412 = 1681
Since 412= 1681, the Pythagorean theorem holds true.
Thus, (9, 40, 41) forms a Pythagorean triplet.
