Question
Identify, with reason, if the following is a Pythagorean triplet.
(24, 70, 74)
Solution
In the triplet (24, 70, 74),
242 = 576, 702 = 4900, 742 = 5476 and 576 + 4900 = 5476
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ (24, 70, 74) is a pythagorean triplet.
