Blog Post No.95: Extending Pythagoras pairs

Pythagoras theorem doesn't need an introduction and has lot of relevance in day to day applications and not just a mere theorem

Just made an attempt to look at some of the existing Pythagoras pairs to see if they throw some interesting patterns when we bring a cube into picture

Here you go...

a) 12 ^ 2 + 5 ^ 2 = 169 which is 13 ^ 2. Now add 3 ^ 3 to 13 ^ 2 --> 13 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 3 = 196 which is 14 ^ 2

b) 24 ^ 2 + 7 ^ 2 = 625 which is 25 ^ 2. Now add 6 ^ 3 to 25 ^ 2 --> 25 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 3 = 841 which is 29 ^ 2

Can someone figure out more patterns of this nature?
