Answer:

Explanation:

if they are Pythagorean triples they should check for the theorem

the biggest value 17/8 should be the hypothenuse

(17/8)² = 1² + (15/8)² ; square the numbers

289/ 64 = 1+ 225/ 64 ; find the common denominator for addition

289/ 64 = 64+ 225/ 64 ; add

289/ 64 = 289 /64 TRUE so they are Pythagorean Triples
