Answer 1

a^2+b^2=c^2.
which two numbers add up to be the third?

Answer 2

i dont understand.

Answer 3

It's asking which number set is comparable to pythag. Pythag is a^2+b^2=c^2.
So for the first one, 10 would be a, 24 would be c, and 25 b. Lets plug it in and see if it fits.

10+24=24. c=25 and not 24, so we know A is not the correct answer.

Answer 4

Opps! I mean to say, 24 would be b, and 25 c. My bad!

Answer 5

Answer 10

9^2+12^2=225.
21^2=441

Answer 11

Answer 12
