... squared. I will now try 2 sides squared. (Middle)2 + Largest number = (smallest number)2 = 122 + 13 = 52 = 144 + 13 = 25 = 157 = 25 This does not work and neither will 132, because it is larger than 122. There is also no point in squaring the largest and the smallest or the middle number and the largest number. I will now try 1 side squared. 122 + 13 = 5 This couldn´t work because 122 is already larger than 5, this also goes for 132. The only number now I can try squaring is the smallest number. 12 + 13 = 52 25 = 25 This works with 5 being the smallest number/side but I need to know if it works with the other 2 triangles I know. 4 +5 = 32 9 = 9 And... 24 + 25 = 72 49 = 49 It works with both of my other triangles. So... Middle number + Largest number = Smallest ...
