Answer 1

Do yah know how to find a pythagorean triple? ;o

Answer 2

Im having a brain fart so, no lol

Answer 3

use

a^2+b^2=c^2

where c is the largest number in the set. Then just plug in until you get something that is true. I'll make an example for first choice below.

Answer 4

WELL. You do the \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] and then you have to input the numbers, to find out which actually comes out to equal c^2. id that made sense

Answer 5

A and B are the lowest numbers and C is the biggest number.

Just use \[A ^{2}+B ^{2}=C ^{2}\]

Plug the numbers in. The one that equals is your answer.

Answer 6

14, 40, 50 here the 50 is largest number and so you plug it in c. the other 2 dont matter the order because of the property of addition.


14^2+40^2=50^2 you evaluate and if true that is your triple.


Do it for each choice until you find one that is true.

Answer 7

Okay I think I got it.
