ummm
try to use the Pythagorean theorem?
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

anonymous · Answer

ok
 so it would be 
7^2+ 24^2= 25^2 and 9^2+ 40^2= 41^2

sleepyhead314 · Answer

yes
and 7^2+ 24^2= 25^2
simplifies to  625 = 625 which is a true statement

anonymous · Answer

and then it would become
 49+576=625

81+1600=1681

anonymous · Answer

ok so 625=615 and 1681=1681
