1)60^2+a^2=b^2
3600=(a+b)(a-b)
3600 is 2^4*3^2*5^2 so,45 factors, one of which is 60.so,remaining 44 factors are possible.
so,22 triangles possible???
approach might be right,but answer
for 2nd one,tallying options would be good,btw,is there any approach for such problems.menace bhai's answer looks good.
3)minimum sum is 4+7+10=21 to maximum=>129 with difference of 3.
so,129=21+(n-1)3
n=37 terms.
4)should not be as easy as it seems...but still,0 it seems????
what does the answer say??
