I am familiar with a "perfect Pythagorean Triple"
Is that what you want?
if so, then the 3 numbers should form the sides of a right-angled triangle.
The simplest such numbers are 3,4,5 since
3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
another, 5,12,13 -- 25+144 = 169
yours does not work, since
13^2 + 15^2 is not equal to 18^2
To determine if a set of numbers is a perfect triple, we need to check if one number in the set can be obtained by multiplying the other two numbers.
In this case, we can check if 18 can be obtained by multiplying 13 and 15. Let's do the calculation:
13 * 15 = 195
Since 18 is not equal to 195, we can conclude that the set of numbers 13, 15, 18 is not a perfect triple.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) No.
