A little more fun with Pythagorean triples:
Exactly four right triangles with integer side lengths exist with a leg equal to 15. These are:
(15, 112, 113), (15, 20, 25), (15, 36, 39), and (8, 15, 17).
How many different right triangle with integer side lengths exist with a leg equal to 42? How do you know?
BONUS QUESTION:
42 is the product of 3 different prime numbers - 2, 3, and 7.
Resolve this problem given a leg which is the product of n different primes, given that, as in this problem, one of these primes is 2. |
