Question

Subject: Math Across the Ages

Hello this isn’t an advanced match course but I chose it since it doesn’t have a math subject for it. But the topic is on math during the Greek era of math.

I was hoping if you could explain how to get 3.8 or both 3.8 and 3.9. It is on Pythagorean triples.

Thank you.

Pythagoras is attributed with the expressions a-2n + 1, b = 2 n2 + 2 n , and c-2 n2 + 2 n
Pythagorean triples. Find five different Pythagorean triples using Pythagoras's formula. What is the
relationship between the hypotenuse and the longest leg for triples found using this formula?
Euclid gave a general expression for Pythagorean triples with x = 2 m n, y-m2-n2 , and z = m2 + n2
Find three Pythagorean triples using Euclid's formula that cannot be found using Pythagoras's
formula described in the preceding problem..
