24,25,26 is a pythagorean triplet. True or fals​

1 Answer

Explanation:

for this the Pythagoras equation must be true :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse the dude opposite of the right angle in a right-angled triangle.

as such it had to be the longest side.

so, c = 26

and we get

26² = 24² + 25²

676 = 576 + 625 = 1201

wrong, 1201 is not equal to 676, so, 24, 25, 26 are NOT a pythagorean triplet.

the initial statement is false.
