There are an infinite number of such numbers!

For example, a=3, b=4 and c=5 satisfy a2 + b2 = c

 

But if you multiply a, b and c by the same number, say, n then you will find that the numbers a=3n, b=4n and c=5n also satisfy a2 + b2 = c2

.

I know pretty much nothing on Pythagoras.

 

But i remember watching a video, is it that A= triangle numbers 

 

b= even

c=prime

 

its probably wrong like i said i know nothing about it.

But i'm sure its for right and triangles?

Hi MathsGod1

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a video you should watch and absorb :)

----------------------------------

 

Oh I almost forgot.  Numbers that work for the pythagorean Theorem are called pythagorean triads.

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a2 + b2 = c2. Such a triple is commonly written (a, b, c), and a well-known example is (3, 4, 5). If (a, b, c) is a Pythagorean triple, then so is (ka, kb, kc) for any positive integer k.

Generating a triple:

A fundamental formula for generating Pythagorean triples given an arbitrary pair of positive integers m and n with m > n. The formula states that the integers

a=m2n2, b=2mn, c=m2+n2 

or

a=k(m2n2), b=k(2mn), c=k(m2+n2)

form a Pythagorean triple.

Example:

If m=2 and n=1:a=2212=41=3b=221=4c=22+12=4+1=5

Pythagorean triple (3, 4, 5), because 32+42=52
