Example: (3, 4, 5)
By evaluating we get:
32 + 42 = 52
9+16 = 25
You can say “triplets,” but “triples” are the favoured term.
Let’s start this topic by an introduction of Pythagoras
theorem.
Table
(3, 4, 5) (5, 12, 13) (8, 15, 17) (7, 24, 25)
p2 + q2 = r2.
or,
The sum of the squares of the other two sides is the same
as the square of the longest side.
Students can pick any triples from the above list and prove
the Pythagoras formula,i.e.,
a2+b2=c2
(x/2)2 -1 = (16/2)2 – 1 = 82 – 1 = 64 – 1 = 63
or
a2 + b2 = c2
Hence Proved.
Triangular Numbers
The difference between successive squares is successive
odd numbers is a fact and suggests that every square is
the sum of two successive triangular numbers.
0 + 1 = 1,
0 + 1 + 2 = 3,
0 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, etc.
So the triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45,
55, 66, 78, 91, 105, 120, etc.
(i.e.,) 32 + 42 = 52
9+16 = 25
25 = 25
Similarly,62 + 82 = 102
36 + 64 = 100
100 = 100

Solution:
52 + 122 = 132
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169

Solution:
72 + 152 = 172
49 + 225 = 289
274 ≠ 289
