Which set represents a pythagorean triple a) 1, 2, 3 b) 9, 12, 16 c)30, 40, 50 d)38, 44, 49 !

30, 40, 50 which is choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

Square the smaller two values (30 and 40)

30^2 = 900

40^2 = 1600

then add those results

900+1600 = 2500

Notice how 50^2 = 2500 as well. This shows us that 30^2 + 40^2 = 50^2 is a true equation. Both sides lead to the same result 2500. Therefore, a triangle with sides 30, 40, 50 is a right triangle. This is based on the 3-4-5 pythagorean triple, just each side has been multiplied by 10.

the least common denominator is 40
