Question 8 • SRC 2022 M/J Grade 8 Pre-Algebra Q1
A set is a Pythagorean triple if the squares of the two shorter sides add to the square of the longest side. For 8, 15, 17: 8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289 = 17². For 10, 24, 26: 100 + 576 = 676 = 26²; for 28, 45, 53: 784 + 2025 = 2809 = 53². The other sets do not satisfy this rule.
