Lexi is fishing from a small boat. A fish swimming at the same depth as the hook at the end of her fishing line is 16 feet away from the hook. If Lexi is 20 feet away from the fish, how far below Lexi is the hook?

Explanation:

One Pythagorean Triple is 3, 4, 5. 32 + 42 = 52

Any multiple of the three numbers is also a Pythagorean Triple:

(3 · 3)2 + (3 · 4)2 = (3 · 5)2

92 + 122 = 152
