3² +4² = 5²,

6² + 8² = 10² and
9² + 12² = 15²


Can you prove,using algebraic method,that this relationship will be true for any multiple of the triple,
3, 4, 5?

Answer:

They are all true

Explanation:

1. 3² +4² = 5²

3x3 + 4x4 = 5x5

9 + 16 = 25

25 = 25

-----------------------

2. 6² + 8² = 10²

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100

------------------

3. 9² + 12² = 15²

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225

-------------------

4. 5² +12² =13²

25 + 144 = 169

169 =169

-------------------
