By the most possible values do you mean that the sum of a and b is greatest, or the largest value of a with the corresponding b value. I’m guessing the largest values of the sum of a and b is 28 where a = 16 and b = 12 as this makes a “3,4,5″ triangle which I believe to be the Pythagorean triangle where a-b is smallest as these triangles usually have a difference of 1 between their largest and middle sides. Hopefully that answers your question though it doesn’t actually prove anything – just a suggestion.

Apologize, on expression mathematically above c^2 = a^2 + b^2 isn’t it?
and not a^2 = b^2 + c^2.

Using 20 as the hypotenuse what are the most possible values that can be used for a and b in the formula. Thes are hole numbers.
What would this formula be to establish this?
