Question

how do you do pythagorean triple?

Answer 1

\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]for any right triangle.

Answer 2

Do you have any specific question?

Answer 3

Trianggle ABC has the side lengths of 8,15,17 . Do the side lengths form a pythagorean t triple? Explain.

Answer 4

so you would have to assume that 17 is the hypotenuse, because hypotenuse is the greatest side.

plug them in.

\[a^2+b^2=c^2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~->~~~~~~~~~~~8^2+15^2=17^2\]





if \[8^2+15^2=17^2\] true, then yes.

thank you!
