If p and q are integers, then

a = p2 - q2

b = 2pq, and

c = p2 + q2

form a Pythagorean triple.

Furthermore, if p and q are co-prime then the triple is primitive Pythagorean.

How can you tell if three positive numbers form a Pythagorean triple?

The Pythagorean thereom is a^2+b^2=c^2. So, you can tell if they are a Pythagorean triple by seeing if the two smaller numbers squared equal the largest number squared. Example. Are 3,4, and 5 a Pythagorean triple? 3^2= 9. 4^2= 16. 5^2= 25. 9+16=25, so they are a triple.


How do six eight and ten form a Pythagorean triple?

6, 8, and 10 is simply a scaled up version of a 3,4,5 triangle (simply double each side). Since 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple, so is the scaled up triangle. Alternatively, since 6, 8, and 10 are integers (whole numbers) that fulfill the Pythagorean theorem (62 + 82 = 102 ), they are a Pythagorean triple.


Is 2 6 8 pythagorean theorem triples?

A "Pythagorean triple" is a set of 3 numbers that fits the Pythagorean Theorem.So your question is: "Do 2, 6, and 8 form a Pythagorean triple ?", and the answeris either 'yes' or 'no'.(2)2 = 4(6)2 = 364 + 36 = 40(8)2 = 6440 is not equal to 64.So the answer is "no".


Is 9 15 12 a pythagorean triple?

To determine if 9, 15, and 12 form a Pythagorean triple, we check if the square of the largest number equals the sum of the squares of the other two. Here, 15 is the largest number. Calculating, we have (15^2 = 225) and (9^2 + 12^2 = 81 + 144 = 225). Since both sides are equal, 9, 15, and 12 do form a Pythagorean triple.
