1) A Pythagorean triples is a set of three integers, a, b, c,  that follow the rule a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2) Assumin c is the diagonal of your rectangle and the hypotenuse of the triangles, you are looking this:

13^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> 169 = a^2 + b^2

Two integer numbers that meet that equality are 5 and 12:

5^2 = 25
12^2 = 144
=> 5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169

 => 13^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

Now that you have the three numbers you know the dimensions of the figure and can calculate the area of the shaded part. I cannot do that for you becasue you did not include the figure.

A sporting goods store sells triangular team pennants in two sizes. The base of one pennant is 18 in. and the length of the side
juin [17]
This is a proportion problem because the problem stated that the two team pennants are similar.

Pennant 1 = base = 18 in ; length = 9 inches
Pennant 2 = base =   6 in ; length = x ?

9/18 = x/6
9*6 = 18x
54 = 18x
54/18 = x
3 = x

The length of the  side of the smaller pennant is 3 inches.
