It's a statement of it that is a pythagorean triple. If you have learnt the equation then you should know that triple considering it is the most common one around (excluding the 1, 1, sqrt(2)). Notice how every other person in the thread understood what it was.

But he's probably right, understanding the idea and understanding the math are too totally different things.

this is a pythagorean triple 3^2+4^2=5^2 not 3^3+4^4=5^5 or 3*3 + 4*4 = 5*5 if u simplify it it isnt even a true equation .... all pythagorean tripples are of the form x^2+y^2=z^2 where x,y,z are positive integers



... go back and check what u previosly typed ... u typed 3*3 + 4*4 = 5*5 (not a pythagorean tripple) ... pythagoras (14 year old girl) immediately saw this and said . . . "what the heck"

I don't understand how you would get that from his post. 3*3 does NOT equal 3^3, it means 3 x 3 (3^2). The same goes for all the other numbers. The "*" symbol means multiplication, it is not a power symbol. "^" is the power symbol. What he wrote is correct, he just skipped a step and instead of writting 3^2 he wrote 3*3.

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
3*3 + 4*4 = 5*5
9 +16 = 25
25 = 25

Hopefully, there is no more confusion.

How do you know I was telling the truth when I said I was a 14 year old girl? I could be some phycotic old man in a home for the mentally unstable.

Or perhaps you're a chick, and what would that make you?

It's quite obvious this young lady has taken the time to look into the things previous posts have taken her to task for. I say pythagoras rocks!
Thank you for this useless post. Unlike you, I don't enjoy it when ignorant people spout off about topics that they know nothing about. At the end of the day, the people that are telling her to learn something before she opens her mouth are doing her more of a favor than you are.

Wonderful response Einstein, did it occur to you that this could really be a 14 year old girl.
Are you a 14 year old too? Would that be chronologically or just mentally?

You're of no help, you are simply a crass individual. You're not related to Bowmann are you?

Shutup.
Get over yourself.

If you think you understand it then i'm sorry but you really really don't.

What I want to know is why (and how) do you name yourself after a person not knowing his greatest theorem, how did you come across the name Pythagoras?

In a right angled triangle A²+B²=C² where A and B are the shorter sides (the ones in contact with the right angle). C is the longest side.

Ehm,the last thing I was worried about was the knight fork,I resigned simply because ,after the forced Kg8, Nxe7 1-0.........

You're 47? To me it seems that you are the one acting like a 14 year old ... "shut up" and "get over yourself"? Your vocabulary and mastery of the language is impressive.

You sympathize with her because you probably don't know math yourself. If you did, you would understand what the other people are trying to say in this post. But what can I expect.

And it seems to me that I, along with several other individuals, were much more helpful than you. She went to the library to learn the pythagorian theorem because of us. What did you help her with. Perhaps if she reads your profile she can learn about the wonders of Oregon, alcohol, and baseball. All very important.
