Please!!! For the love of GOD can someone answer this quickly!!!!!

Answer 1

3^2+4^2=5^2

9+16= 25= 5^2=

25 = 25

8^2+15^2= 17^2

64+225= 17^2

289 = 289

Explanation:

both side a and side b are equal to side c

Answer 2

Using pythagorean th. you can easily prove it by squaring and adding the first two numbers whose square root will be equal to 3rd one. Try it!!

Eg: 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

Explanation:

3² + 4² = 25 = 5²

8² + 15² = 289 = 17²
