Extending This Theorem?

Geometry Level 2

We know that Pythagorean theorem states for any right triangle with two short sides a , b a,b and the longest side c c , then a 2 + b 2 = c 2 a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is satisfied.

But is it possible that a 3 + b 3 = c 3 a^3 + b^3 = c^3 is also satisfied?

Yes No

Using fermats last theorem, there is no posibility for any number a,b,c such that

a 3 + b 3 = c 3 a^3+b^3=c^3

Write the Proof Please :P

This is not correct because the question didn't specify that the sides must be integers.
