Pythagorean Triples

1. The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem and right triangles. It states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. 2. Some common Pythagorean triples are given such as 3, 4, 5 and 5, 12, 13. A rule for generating Pythagorean triples using odd numbers is also explained. 3. Examples of applying the Pythagorean theorem to find missing sides of right triangles are provided.

The Pythagorean Theorem
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two right sides.

a² + b² = c²
2. Some Pythagorean Triples
• 3, 4, 5
Zeki Hoca’s rule
5 3² + 4² = 5² 3² = 9 = 4 + 5
3 9 + 16 = 25 take square of 3 (it must be odd number) and then write the
result (9) as a sum of two consecutive numbers 9 = 4 + 5
25 = 25

• 5, 12, 13
Zeki Hoca’s rule
13 5² + 12² = 13² 5² = 25 = 12 + 13
5 25 + 144 = 169 take square of 5 (it must be odd number) and then write the
result (25) as a sum of two consecutive numbers 25 = 12+ 13
169 = 169

• 7, 24, 25
Zeki Hoca’s rule
25 7² + 24² = 25² 7² = 49 = 24 + 25
7 49 + 576 = 625 (7 is odd number)

625 = 625
