Pattern Recognition Problem: If $7,24 to 25 ; 12,35 to 37;$ … , then M=?
$begingroup$
A friend has given me a puzzle to solve, the puzzle is as follows:
$$color{red}{7 , , } 24 to color{blue}{25}$$
$$color{red}{12 , , } 35 to color{blue}{37}$$
$$color{red}{11 , , } 60 to color{blue}{61}$$
$$color{red}{8 , , } 15 to color{blue}{17}$$
$$color{red}{9 , , } 40 to color{blue}{text{M}}$$
then $color{blue}{text{M}}$=?
pattern

The answer is
41 because $red^2 + black^2 = blue^2$.
These are all
Examples of Pythagorean triples, and so $9^2 + 40^2 = 81 + 1600 = 1681$, and then $sqrt{1681} = 41 = M$.

Although El-Guest answer appears correct for all the listed cases, there could be a simpler answer, which is:
if red is uneven then black + 1
else if red is even then black + 2
