Question

Which number forms a Pythagorean triplewith 70 and 74?

Answer 1

We have that Pythagorean triple consist of 3 positive integers a,b, and c such that

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

then in our case is

a=?

b=70

c=74

and we will calculate c

$\begin{gathered} a=\sqrt[]{74^2-70^2} \\ a=24 \end{gathered}$

the Pythagorean triple is { 24,70,74}
