Question

Vocaloid · Answer

If three numbers are Pythagorean triples then

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c is the largest number in the triple, and a and b are the other two numbers.

So for each set of triples they give you, plug them into the Pythagorean formula and show that both sides are still equal.
