Normal (2D) Pythagoras Theorem Numbers
Pythagoras theorem applies to a triangle with lengths a, b and c as shown in diagram.It indicates that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
If you look at the diagram, this means that a2 + b2 = c2
The table below indicates some of the "integer" values that obey the rule and form right-angled triangles.
3 | 4 | 5 | and all multiples e.g. | 6 | 8 | 10 |
5 | 12 | 13 | and all multiples e.g. | 10 | 24 | 26 |
7 | 24 | 25 | and all multiples e.g. | 14 | 48 | 50 |
8 | 15 | 17 | and all multiples e.g. | 16 | 30 | 34 |
9 | 40 | 41 | and all multiples e.g. | 18 | 80 | 82 |
12 | 35 | 37 | and all multiples e.g. | 24 | 70 | 74 |
20 | 21 | 29 | and all multiples e.g. | 40 | 42 | 58 |
Extended (3D) Pythagoras Theorem Numbers
Pythagoras theorem can be extended for trianglular prisms with lengths a, b c, and diagonal d as shown in diagram.It indicates that the square of the diagonal is equal to the sum of the squares of the three main edges
If you look at the diagram a2 + b2 + c2 = d2
