The ancient Egyptians had a neat way to construct right angles. They would make a long rope with knots to make 121212 equal sections. When they stretched the rope into the triangle shown below, they always got a right angle. This was useful when planning the pyramids, for example. If we apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the Egyptian knots we can see that 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^23 2 +4 2 =5 2 3, squared, plus, 4, squared, equals, 5, squared. Which of the sets of three numbers listed would also let you form a right angle in this way?
