I started with $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ Then I got a problem when I thought what about having Ann number or set of numbers which will satisfy $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ And also $a^2 + b^2 = d^3$ Both the equation simultaneously for example $3^2 + 4^2 = 25$ But $25$ is not a cubic number I want to know that sum of two square numbers can be equal to a square and a cubic number for $n^6$? I am not asking about Pythagorean triplets I am asking which satisfies $d^3$?

Here is an example - you can find others by searching for triangles for which the hypotenuse happens to be a cube. $$ 117^2 + 44^2 = 125^2 = 25^3. $$

You can always manufacture one with a cheap trick: Whenever $$ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 $$ you know $$ (ac^2)^2 + (bc^2)^2 = c^6 $$ which is both a square and a cube. For the $3-4-5$ triangle that yields $$ 75^2 + 100^2 = 125^2 = 25^3 . $$
