A Pythagorean triple is three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A well known Pythagorean triplet is (3,4,5). If (a, b, c) is a Pythagorean triplet, then so is (ka, kb, kc) for any positive integer k.
Yes because they comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
There are many different methods: the simpler methods will generate lots of triplets but not all. Comprehensive generators tend to be very complex. So here is a simple one: Euclid's formula Take any two positive integers x and y and suppose x > y. Then A = x2 - y2 B = 2xy C = x2 + y2 form a Pythagorean triplet.
Pythagoras was well known for the Pythagorean Theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
