Beyond Pythagoras The aim of this piece of my coursework is to investigate the area of triangle studies including the Pythagorean Theorem and in particular Pythagorean Triples, sets of numbers where the shortest side is an odd value and all three are positive whole integers. I will collate the relevant data and formulae for the nth terms by using a grid and from this data I should be able to make predictions on the nth terms of Pythagorean Triples. I will keep a narrative of what I am doing and discovering, referring within it to each process of my investigation. The numbers 3, 4 and 5 satisfy the condition 32+42=52, Because 32= 3x3 =9 42= 4x4 =16 52= 5x5 =25 And so... 32+42=9+16=25=52 I now have to find out if the following sets of numbers satisfy a similar condition of (smallest number) 2+ (middle number) 2= (largest number) 2. * 5, 12, 13 52+122 = 25+144 = 169 =...
