Answer:

It doesn't.

Explanation:

In order for something to be a {ythagorean triple, it must comply with the Pythagorean theorem, which is a² + b² = c²

Always remember, when plugging in the values into that equation, the exponent of two means to square the number, and a and b have to be the two smallest values (in this case, 6 and 12)

6² = 36

12² = 144

36 + 144 = 180

Now, we have to find if ti equals c². 13² equals 169

Therefore, 180 ≠ 169, therefore it IS NOT a Pythagorean triple.
