Bob is offline and aeon is a ai but I will try to help

buttercup888:

Thank you

AngeI:

I honestly am too tired to explain this im sorry so I will just copy and paste what will help you.

AngeI:

Just write something like this: Let's plug in 6, 8 and 10 into the pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2 36 + 64 = 100 100 = 100 So 6, 8, and 10 are pythagorean triples because they satisfy the pythagorean theorem. Let's plug in 5, 12 and 13 into the pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 25 + 144 = 169 169 = 169 So 5, 12, and 13 are also pythagorean triples because they satisfy the pythagorean theorem.
