Question

which sets of side lengths represent pythagorean triples? check all that apply.

1, 2, 5
6, 8, 14
8, 15, 17
10, 24, 26
15, 20, 30
28, 45, 53

Explanation:

Check the definition of a Pythagorean triple

$$ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \quad \text{where } a, b, c \in \mathbb{Z}^+ \text{ and } a \le b < c $$

Evaluate each given set of side lengths

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Identify the correct sets

$$ \{8, 15, 17\}, \quad \{10, 24, 26\}, \quad \{28, 45, 53\} $$
