P.6 How do they differ?

Pythagorean Theorem

Kaden and Maddie are given a set of side lengths and asked to determine if they form a Pythagorean Triple.


Kaden's Method
 
I plug the numbers into the Pythagorean Theorem
Since both sides are not the same, it's not a Pythagorean Triple.
10, 15, 20
a2 + b2 = c2
102 + 152 202
100 + 225 400
325 ≠ 400
