Leon verified that the side lengths 21, 28, 35 form a Pythagorean triple using this procedure.
Step 1: Find the greatest common factor of the given lengths: 7
Step 2: Divide the given lengths by the greatest common factor: 3, 4, 5
Step 3: Verify that the lengths found in step 2 form a Pythagorean triple: 3 squared + 4 squared = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5 squared
Leon states that 21, 28, 35 is a Pythagorean triple because the lengths found in step 2 form a Pythagorean triple. Which explains whether or not Leon is correct?
Yes, multiplying every length of a Pythagorean triple by the same whole number results in a Pythagorean triple.
Yes, any set of lengths with a common factor is a Pythagorean triple.
No, the lengths of Pythagorean triples cannot have any common factors.
No, the given side lengths can form a Pythagorean triple even if the lengths found in step 2 do not.

Nthe opening scene of the movie raiders of the lost ark, indiana jones replaces a golden statue with a bag of sand. the platform on which the statue is placed is designed to detect the mass of the statue. if the bag of sand has a different mass than the statue, then a mechanism triggers and destruction ensues. the density of gold is about 20\text{ g/cm}^320 g/cm 3 20, space, g, slash, c, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. the density of sand can be estimated at 2.5\text{ g/cm}^32.5 g/cm 3 2, point, 5, space, g, slash, c, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. the gold statue can be modeled as a cylinder with height 25\text{ cm}25 cm25, space, c, m and radius 8\text{ cm}8 cm8, space, c, m. in terms of \piπpi, what is the mass of sand indiana jones needs to avoid triggering the mechanism?
