Question
Identify, with reason, if the following is a Pythagorean triplet.
(10, 24, 27)
Solution
In the triplet (10, 24, 27),
102 = 100, 242 = 576, 272 = 729 and 100 + 576 = 676 ≠ 729
The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ (10, 24, 27) is not a pythagorean triplet.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
