Question

Explain how three numbers form a Pythagorean triple

Answer 1

Since a Pythagorean triple is three positive integers a, b, and c such that (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2), first take the sum of the squares of the two legs and make an estimate. For example, 3, 4, and 5 is a Pythagorean triple since 9+16=25.

Answer 2

say you have a triangle that is 4,4,8

4 is a

4 is b

and 8 is c

pothagorean theory is a + b = c

so 4+4=8
