cos it is a hard problem
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
yes it is
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
@satellite73
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
G-L=7 cannot be the answer cause odd-odd is even
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
have you gotten this far :
\[\large (a+1)^2 + (b+1)^2 = (c+1)^2\]
?

ya
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
the problem simplifies to solving pythagorean triples :
\[\large x^2 + y^2 = z^2\]
\(x+y+z = 24\)
\(x \gt 7\)
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
ok
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
a,b,c will be max when a=b=c

G={7,7,7}
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
pls reply
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
@kainui
hartnn (hartnn):
x+y+z =24
x^2+y^2=z^2
only 6,8,10 satisfies this
hartnn (hartnn):
so,
a,b,c = 5,7,9
which gives b-a=2

Also,
G= 9, L=5
so, G-L also = 4

@hartnn how to take G
OpenStudy (kanwal32):
and L
hartnn (hartnn):
G is max of (5,7,9)
maximum among them is 9
so, G is 9
hartnn (hartnn):
L is min (5,7,9)
minimum among them is 5, so L=5
