Question 7 • Foundations of Math 1

Which set of side lengths is a Pythagorean triple?

Answer
A
4, 5, 9
B
16, 30, 44
C
9, 40, 41
D
1, 3, 10

Explanation

A Pythagorean triple satisfies a² + b² = c², with the largest number as c. For 9, 40, and 41, 9² + 40² = 81 + 1600 = 1681, and 41² = 1681. So the set 9, 40, 41 is a Pythagorean triple.
