Question
Either prove or disprove this mathematical claim detailed please
problems use Pythagorean Theorem, assumed to be true without any proof: "For
any right triangle, if its legs have length a and b and its hypotenuse length c, then a² + b²
c²." In
addition, two additional definitions are relevant to the conjectures you choose from below: a Pythagorean
triple (p, q, r) is a triple of natural numbers p <q <r such that p²+q² = r². An equilateral triangle is
one for which all three sides have equal length.
1 If n is a natural number and n ≥ 2, then (2n, n² − 1, n²+1) is a Pythagorean triple.
