Arnav knows that (3, 4, 5) and (5, 12, 13) are Pythagorean triples. He wants to show that (15, 20, 25) is also a Pythagorean triple. Besides using the converse of the Pythagorean theorem, is there another way Arnav can show that (15, 20, 25) is a Pythagorean triple?

  multiply the (3, 4, 5) triple by 5 to get (15, 20, 25)

Step-by-step explanation:

Any multiple of a Pythagorean triple is a Pythagorean triple.

  5(3, 4, 5) = (5·3, 5·4, 5·5) = (15, 20, 25) — a Pythagorean triple

c and e

step-by-step explanation: c and e seem the most probable because a number less than 2 on a spinner with 4 equal sections would be 25% and e because all of the stacks contain 13 of that card.
