Paul's green bean plant is growing in a 4-inch-wide pot. The plant grew 1.2 centimeters the first week, 2.75 centimeters the second week, and 3 centimeters the third week. How many centimeters did the plant grow during these 3 weeks

Some primitive triples are ...  (3, 4, 5)  (5, 12, 13)  (7, 24, 25)  (9, 40, 41)One interesting characteristic of these is that the sum of the last two numbers is the square of the first number.Any multiple of these will be a Pythagorean triple.Now consider your list.  a) (10, 24, 26) = 2×(5, 12, 13) . . . IS a Pythagorean Triple  b) 2×(7, 24, 25) = (14, 48, 50), so (14, 48, 49) is NOT a Pythagorean Triple  c) 3×(3, 4, 5) = (9, 12, 15), so (9, 12, 16) is NOT a Pythagorean Triple  d) (9, 40, 41) . . . IS a Pythagorean Triple  e) 5×(3, 4, 5) = (15, 20, 25) . . . IS a Pythagorean Triple The sets of side lengths that are Pythagorean Triples are ...  (10, 24, 26)  (9, 40, 41)  (15, 20, 25)
