Persuade Mr. Zorn whether the numbers 12, 16, and 20 make a right triangle or not. make sure to state reasons for and against your belief. *

They don’t 12+16+20= 48

12 x 16 x 20= 3840

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

he has now walked a total of what?

if i know what this is maybe i can
