Question 460 • 26-27 RPA - US History 1 CR

Which set of side lengths is a Pythagorean triple?

Answer
A
2, 3, 13
B
5, 7, 12
C
10, 24, 29
D
11, 60, 61

Explanation

For a Pythagorean triple, the squares of the two shorter sides must add to the square of the longest side. For 11, 60, and 61, 11² + 60² = 121 + 3,600 = 3,721, and 61² = 3,721. So 11, 60, 61 is a Pythagorean triple.
