Question

Can you explain the Pythagorean triplets

Answer 1

(Hypertenus) square= perpendicular) square + base ) squRe

Answer 2

"Pythagorean triples" are integer solutions to the Pythagorean Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2. I like "triplets," but "triples" seems to be the favored term. For a right triangle, the c side is the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle. The a side is the shorter of the two sides adjacent to the right angle. The first rules that I became aware of for determining a subset of Pythagorean triplets are as follows:

Every odd number is the a side of a Pythagorean triplet.
The b side of a Pythagorean triplet is simply (a2 - 1) / 2.
The c side is b + 1.
