The two pairs are Pythagorean triples because if you plug the two legs of a right triangle into the Pythagorean theorem(A^2+B^2=C^2), then you will find the measurement for the third side(hypotenuse). i.e. 15^2+12^2=9^2(it's the Pythagorean triple 3,4,5 multiplied by 3). This works with any triple, as long as your using the legs of the triangle and as long as the triangle is a right triangle.

Answer:

128 ft sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you find the area of a square is by multiplying one side by another, and since it is a square, the sides are the same. This means that if we have a square with a side length of x, the way to find the area of that square is to multiply x by x, which can be written as $x^2$ . Now, since we're doubling this, we can say that double Mary's garden is $2 * x^2$ . If we substitute 8 in for x, we have to multiply $8^2$ by 2 or 8 by 8 by 2 to find our answer. 8 times 8 is 64 and 64 times 2 is 128.
