Question 1
A pythagorean triple is 3 numbers that follow the rule A2+B2=C2
3,4,5 is a very good example.
This picture shows this.
3 squared=9
4 squared=16
5 squared=25

Question 2
To find a missing leg you must follow the formula of C2-A2=b2 or C2-B2=A2
Ex,
52-42=A2
25-16=9
9=A2
square root of 9=3

How to find a missing Hypotnuse.
32+42=C2
9+16=25
square root of 25=5


Question 3

Worksheet problem A.

First, follow the Pythagoream theorem.

A2 + B2 = C2
25,2 + 10,2 = C2
625 + 100 = 725
725/ = 26.925


729-676= 53
725-676=49
26 49/53

And there is your answer!!!
