nottim · Answer

are each length a particular variable?

anonymous · Answer

your seeing everything i see... sadly

er.mohd.amir · Answer

here x2+y2 is must be hypotenuse and other two are legs and x2-y2=11 since if 2xy=11 not satisfy because side are in whole number

anonymous · Answer

so what is the missing leg and the hypotenuse?

anonymous · Answer

so 121 is hypotenuse? and what is the other leg?

er.mohd.amir · Answer

(x2+y2)2=(x2-y2)2+(2xy)2 use Pythagoras theorem put x2-y2=11 gives x4+y4=121+2x2y2

er.mohd.amir · Answer

find the triplet in which 11 is come like 3,4,5 make right triangle

anonymous · Answer

i already looked for it, and couldnt find a triplet for the number 11

nottim · Answer

uh. is it closed now.

er.mohd.amir · Answer

with 11 a side right triangle is not possible with whole numbers of sides may be Q  is misprinted or something else.
