Pythagorean Triples - Example to Set of Side Lengths (Scaled) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on identifying Pythagorean triples, which are sets of three integers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. Students are tasked with finding proper integer side lengths for right triangles based on given problems. Each question challenges them to determine sets of feasible side lengths where the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This exercise is part of an introductory unit on Pythagorean triples, developing students' understanding of fundamental properties in right triangles.
