Answer 1

The first one

Explanation:

Use the pythagoras theorem=a ^2+b^2 =c^2

Use a is 9 b is 40 because the largest value is always the hypotenuse and the hypotenuse is always c.

so you do 9 squared add 40 squared to find c squared.

Square root the answer and you get 41 so it is a pythagoras triple
