If p and q are integers, then
a = p2 - q2
b = 2pq, and
c = p2 + q2
form a Pythagorean triple.
Furthermore, if p and q are co-prime then the triple is primitive Pythagorean.

Is 15 36 39 a pythagorean triple?
Let's try it out: 152 + 362 = 392 225 + 1296 = 1521 1521 = 1521 That is a pythagorean triple.
How can you determine whether or not the sides of a triangle form a right triangle using Pythagorean triples?
If the lengths of the sides of the triangle can be substituted for 'a', 'b', and 'c'in the equationa2 + b2 = c2and maintain the equality, then the lengths of the sides are a Pythagorean triple, and the triangle is a right one.
What type of triangle has sides 3cm 4cm and 5cm?
This is the simplest Pythagorean Triple (52 = 32 + 42) so it's a right(-angled) triangle
Where does Pythagorean come from?
hiya, well... the pythagorean triple comes from the mathmatician who sat in the sand on a beach drawing triangles with a stick,then one day it came to him that the smallest side of a triangle squared plus the middle length of the triangle squared = the longest side of a triangle squared ... he also made a general rule for this which is.. A squared + B squared = C squared eg. 3,4,5 its called pythagorean because the mans name was pythagoras.:) sorry about how long i answered its for people who are'nt sure what pythagorean is :)
Sets of Pythagorean triples?
3,4,5 1,2,3 these are sets of pythagorean triples
How do you find a pythagorean triple?
There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples. To find a Pythagorean triple take two positive integers x, y with x > y. A Pythagorean triple is of the form x2 - y2, 2xy, x2 + y2.
When do two consecutive positive integers form part of a Pythagorean triple?

Nearly but not quite a Pythagorean triple
Is 345 a Pythagorean triple?

How can you tell if three positive numbers form a Pythagorean triple?
The Pythagorean thereom is a^2+b^2=c^2. So, you can tell if they are a Pythagorean triple by seeing if the two smaller numbers squared equal the largest number squared. Example. Are 3,4, and 5 a Pythagorean triple? 3^2= 9. 4^2= 16. 5^2= 25. 9+16=25, so they are a triple.
How do six eight and ten form a Pythagorean triple?
6, 8, and 10 is simply a scaled up version of a 3,4,5 triangle (simply double each side). Since 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple, so is the scaled up triangle. Alternatively, since 6, 8, and 10 are integers (whole numbers) that fulfill the Pythagorean theorem (62 + 82 = 102 ), they are a Pythagorean triple.
Is 2 6 8 pythagorean theorem triples?
A "Pythagorean triple" is a set of 3 numbers that fits the Pythagorean Theorem.So your question is: "Do 2, 6, and 8 form a Pythagorean triple ?", and the answeris either 'yes' or 'no'.(2)2 = 4(6)2 = 364 + 36 = 40(8)2 = 6440 is not equal to 64.So the answer is "no".
