Which of these is pythagorean triple? a) 11,60,61 b) 6,8,15 c) 5,11,12 d) 9,24,25 which number completes the pythagorean triple of 14,48,x? a) 12 b) 12.5 c) 25 d) 50

If a, b and c are a Pythagorean triple, then:

for a ≤ b < c.

We have:

A) 11, 60, 61

check:

CORRECT

B) 6, 8, 15

These are not the sides of the triangle because 6 + 8 = 14 < 15

C) 5, 11, 12

check

INCORRECT

D) 9, 24, 25

INCORRECT

2)

If a, b, c are the sides of the triangle, then:

a + b > c and a + c > b and b + c > a.

We have 14, 48, x. Therefore:

x < 14 + 48

x < 62

and

x + 14 > 48

x > 34

therefore 34 < x < 62

If 34 < x < 48, then:

     subtract 196 from both sides

If 48 < x < 62, then:

answer: he is 272195

step-by-step explanation: all you have to do is multiple 3535 and 77 and it equals 272195
