JAVA class program help needed

[steg]

my teacher really doesn't teach us java that much and gives us stuff to do when no one has any idea how to do it.

ok i have a couple of questions. ok 3 really.

ok the first one is this.

{public class exercise5b{
	
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
	 	
		for(int row=10;row<=10;row--)
		{
			for (int ast=1;ast>=row;ast++)
			  System.out.print('*');
			System.out.println();
		  
		}
			
		
		
		
	 
	 	
	}
}

Which produces

**********
*********
********
*******
******
*****
****
***
**
*

and the question is how to make it look like this

**********
 *********
  ********
   *******
    ******
     *****
      ****
       ***
        **
         *

I can not figure this out if it saved my life. I have tried to change everything i can and i can not get it like that.

Q#2.
Anyone know how to make a for loop to figure out the Pythagorean triple of triangles all no lager that 500?

and #3.
basically kinda like the first one where i have to write a program to make 4 seperate triangles right next to each other. with for loops of course.
example.

*           ********** **********           *
**          *********   *********          **
***         ********     ********         ***
****        *******       *******        ****
*****       ******         ******       *****
******      *****           *****      ******
*******     ****             ****     ******* 
********    ***               ***    ********
*********   **                 **   *********
**********  *                   *  **********
