c 2 = a2 + b 2

Fact 4.1.18. Important Pythagorean Triples


3, 4, 5
5, 12, 13
7, 24, 25
8, 15, 17
9, 40, 41
20, 21, 29

If all numbers in a pythagorean triple are multiplied by a constant, the resulting num-
bers still form a pythagorean triple.

For example: These are all pythagorean triples:


3, 4, 5
6, 8, 10
9, 12, 15
12, 16, 20
