The sets of numbers 6, 8, 10, and 5, 12, 13 are Pythagorean triples. Use what you know about the Pythagorean Theorem and explain or show why they are Pythagorean triples. Be sure to show your work for each set of triples!

supie:

Do you know the Pythagorean Theorem Formula?

younggmoneyy:

yes, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

supie:

Ok so do you know what we have to plug in to the formula \[a^2+b^2=c^2\]?

supie:

What numbers do we have to plug in to what variables

younggmoneyy:

6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2 right?

younggmoneyy:

and same with the 5, 12, and 13?

supie:

hmm @Hero

jhonyy9:

yes right bc. the Pythagorean theorem says that the sum of the square of legs of a triangle is equal the square of hypotenuse so a^2 +b^2 = c^2 c is the hypotenuse

jhonyy9:

6^2 +8^2 = 10^2 36 +64 = 100 and 25 + 144 = 169

jhonyy9:

@supie clearly ?

jhonyy9:

questions ?
