OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First set: 7, 24, 25. Square 7, 24 and 25. Add together the squares of 7 and 24. Compare this sum to the square of 25. comment on what you observe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7^2 = what 24^2= what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry about that i was AFK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

49 and 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got 49 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 24^2=576

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoops i was thinking 24 x 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now add 49+576

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and now do 25^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50 and 625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no just 625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and do you notice that 49 +576 is also 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 625 is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to do the second set also so do 9^2+40^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that equals 1681

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 41^2 =1681

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically all your'e trying to find out is does 7^2 +24^2=625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and does 25^2=625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and same for the second set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything else
