Carl's Pythagoras Growing Post

Part 1:

The Pythegorean Triple is a right angle triangle that uses a set of numbers such as 1,2,3,etc. This set of numbers has to be a decimal, also this set of numbers has to satisfy a² + b² = c² For example, this set of numbers can be 3,4,5. Since 3² is equal to 9, 4² is equal to 16 and 5² is equal to 25. a² = 3 , b² = 4 , c² = 5²









Another example is 6²+8²=10².
