... this therefore means they are not Pythagorean triples!!!! So from this you should notice that a2 + b2 = c2, if a=3, b=4, and c=5 (32+44 = 52) we can see that 32 + 42= 52(25) this therefore means these numbers make a Pythagorean triple. I have been given 3 sets of Pythagorean triples from family 1 to analyse: I've been told that family 1 of the Pythagorean triples has the following features: ?smallest side is odd ?the longest side is one more than the middle side ?on the middle side you add 4 more on than the last time If I wanted to work out more Pythagorean triples for family 1 I can search for patterns from the data I have been provided with. The easiest way to work out if there is a pattern is to find a formula which will enable you to work out any part of the sequence! As you can see in ...
