a^2+b^2=c^2
where c is the bigger of the 3 numbers

Answer 6

ohh okay I can do that

Answer 7

so have you decided which of the 4 sets above satisfy a^2+b^2=c^2?

Answer 8

which of the following are true:
\[5^2+12^2=13^2\\
12^2+13^2=15^2\\
10^2+12^2=14^2\\
10^2+12^2=22^2\]

Answer 9

@myininaya the first ones true : 5^2 +12^2=13^2

Answer 10
