Which number completes the Pythagorean triple: 12,16, ?
A.18
B.20
C.22
D.24
Is the answer D?
No.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 16^2 = ?^2
Now plug in 18 as c.
12^2 + 16^2 = 18^2
144 + 256 = 324
400 = 324
18 is not the answer.
Second Try:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 16^2 = c^2
Now plug in 20 as c.
12^2 + 16^2 = 20^
144 + 256 = 400
400 = 400
So, B is the correct answer.
I hope this helps! :)
More than you know. Two more OK?

To find the missing number in the Pythagorean triple, we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, we have two sides given: 12 and 16. Let's label them as the legs of the triangle. We'll call the missing number x, which will be the hypotenuse.
So, using the Pythagorean theorem:
12^2 + 16^2 = x^2
144 + 256 = x^2
400 = x^2
To find the value of x, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√400 = √(x^2)
The square root of 400 is 20, so:
20 = x
Therefore, the missing number or the value for x is 20.
Hence, the correct answer from the options given is B.
