Pythagorean Theorem

Question 2 • Integrated Math II (B) - SHARP

Which of the following is not a Pythagorean triple?

Answer
A
28, 45, 53
B
16, 63, 65
C
13, 84, 85
D
11, 61, 62

Explanation

For a Pythagorean triple, the squares of the two smaller numbers must add to the square of the largest. For 11, 61, and 62, 11² + 61² = 121 + 3,721 = 3,842, but 62² = 3,844. Since these are not equal, 11, 61, and 62 are not a Pythagorean triple; the correct choice is D.
