    Which of the following measures can't be measures of three sides of a right angled triangle?

    A)  15, 20 and 25

    B)  15, 112 and 113

    C)  9, 40 and 41

    D)  7, 25 and 26

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

         In a right angled triangle, square of longest side is equal to sum of squares of other two sides. We will find squares of all given sides and check this condition. A. \[{{15}^{2}}=225,\,{{20}^{2}}\,=400;\,{{25}^{2}}=625\] Clearly \[{{25}^{2}}={{15}^{2}}+{{20}^{2}}\] B. \[{{15}^{2}}=225,\,{{112}^{2}}\,=12544;\,{{113}^{2}}\,=12769\] Clearly \[{{113}^{2}}\,={{15}^{2}}+{{112}^{2}}\] C. \[{{9}^{2}}=81,\,{{40}^{2}}=1600;\,{{41}^{2}}=1681\] Clearly \[{{41}^{2}}={{40}^{2}}+{{9}^{2}}\] D. \[{{7}^{2}}=49,\,{{25}^{2}}=625;\,{{26}^{2}}\,=676\] Clearly \[{{26}^{2}}\ne {{7}^{2}}+{{25}^{2}}\]
