408^2 + 306^2 = 525^2  .... see if this is a true statement :)

260100 = 275625  not equal, not square, not rectangle

amistre64 · Answer

I could tell by the last digits..

8^2 + 6^2 = 5^2

64 + 36 = 25

100 = 25... the last digits 0 and 5 are not the same, so it wont fly no matter how large the numbers are...
