Eleven years from today will we all be carrying around 3,4,5 right triangles ?
Where was my 5-12-13 triangle last May?
Uh? 9-16-25 is not a Pythagorean triple.
There’s
12-9-15 a few days short of a year away, and then
9-12-15
8-18-17
12-16-20
7-24-25
10-24-26
I might have missed some but nowhere on that list is 9-16-25.
The OP means 3-4-5.
Remember the advice that guys should think about baseball during sex, so they can last longer? I don’t like baseball, so we were discussing other subjects to think about. Zyada suggested trigonometry, to which I replied (with appropriate motions) “three…Four…FIVE!”. No more trig for me!
I got that, but why wait until 3²-4²-5² to celebrate?
I see I missed a few, I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader.
Yeah, but 9-16-25 isn’t even remotely a 3:4:5 ratio. It’s a 3:5.3333:8.3333 ratio.
It’s the squares on the sides of the 3-4-5 triangle. :dubious:
Yeah, that was a brain fart. Of course, I also understood the OP to be putting forth that a triangle with sides of 9, 16, and 25 fit the theorem…which is also incorrect.
