Respuesta :

3,4,5 
using a^2 +b^2 = c^2 plug in any of the numbers i plugged in 
3^2 +4^2 which gave me 9+16 and that is 25 and 5^2 is 25

Answer:

3, 4, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the sets of numbers and we are supposed to find Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle

So, we need to use Pythagoras theorem

[tex]Hypotenuse^{2} =Perpendicular^{2} +Base^{2}[/tex]

1) 9,10,11

Hypotenuse = 11

So, using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]11^{2} =10^{2} +9^{2}[/tex]

[tex]121=100 +81[/tex]

[tex]121\neq 181[/tex]

Since the given set does not satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.So, the given set  of number could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

2)16, 32, 36

Hypotenuse = 36

So, using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]36^{2} =32^{2} +16^{2}[/tex]

[tex]1296=1024 +256[/tex]

[tex]1296\neq 1280[/tex]

Since the given set does not satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.So, the given set  of number could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

3)8, 12, 16

Hypotenuse = 36

So, using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]16^{2} =12^{2} +8^{2}[/tex]

[tex]256=144 +64[/tex]

[tex]256\neq 208[/tex]

Since the given set does not satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.So, the given set  of number could not represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

4)3, 4, 5

Hypotenuse = 5

So, using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]5^{2} =4^{2} +3^{2}[/tex]

[tex]25=16 +9[/tex]

[tex]25\=25[/tex]

Since the given set satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.So, the given set  of number could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

Hence 3, 4, 5 is the set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle
