Answer:

5,12,13

Explanation:

first you write out a^2 or a squares + b^2=C ^2 You plug in for a and b the smaller numbers then for c you put the biggest number. Now square everything. And you should get 25 for a. 144 for b. 169 for c. Now add a and b which is25+144 and that equals 169. So 5,12,13 is your answer.
