Marc's Third Growing Post

Part I:

A Pythagorean Triple is a right triangle that uses a set of whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc..) used to satisfy the problem a² + b² = c².

This picture shows that

3² + 4² = 5² = 9 + 16 = 25.

Some other triples are:

6² + 8² = 10² = 36 + 64 = 100

You can use this same picture

to show 6² + 8² = 10² you just

have to change the 3 into a 6,

the 4 into a 8 and the 5 into a

10.
