Given the following two pair for values x1 = 5, y1 = 4 and x 2 = 1, y2 = .
calculate the pythagorean triples associated with each pair.
based on the results of the previous activity, for which values xn and yn is this identity valid?

Given the following two pair for values x 1 = 5, y 1 = 4 and x 2 = 1, y 2 = .

Calculate the Pythagorean triples associated with each pair

x 1 = 5, y 1 = 4

Ans:: sqrt[5^2+4^2] = sqrt[41

and x 2 = 1, y 2 = ?

Ans: r = sqrt[1^2 + ?^2]

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
