H^2 = B^2 + P^2

1. 12^2 = 6^2 + 9^2
144 = 36 + 81
144 = 117
Therefore, this is not a Pythagorean triple.

2. 12^2 = 10^2 + 7^2
144 = 100 + 49
144 = 149
Therefore, this is not a Pythagorean triple.

3. 25^2 = 18^2 + 16^2
625 = 324 + 256
625 = 580
Therefore, this is not a Pythagorean triple.

4. 45^2 = 36^2 + 27^2
2025 = 1296 + 729
2025 = 2025
Therefore, this is a Pythagorean triple.


The last one is a Pythagorean triple
