******************
Every odd square number can be fitted to at least one Fermat set.
Let z^2 = 2k+1
then k^2 + z^2 = (k+1)^2
Take 7 for example:
7^2 =49
49 = 2*24 +1
then 24^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

Pythagorean triples are instruments of three numbers that correspond to the the lengths of the three facets of a suitable triangle. remember that for a suitable triangle with facets of length a,b, and c, the pythagorean theorem should be real so a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (this is a squared plus b squared has to equivalent c squared the place c is the hypotenuse) you're in seek of values of a,b, and c so as that this is real. case in point, a=3, b=4, c=5 works because of the fact: 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + sixteen =25 = 5^2 so 3,4,5 is a pythagorean triple. What else works? Plug in some numbers and notice. How approximately 30,forty,50 or 3 hundred,4 hundred,500?

I'll show you how to find infinitely many Pythagorean triples.
Pythagorean triples are 3 whole numbers,a,b,c, that satisfy
the equation a² + b² = c².
For example, 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple
because 3² + 4² = 5², i.e., 9 + 16 = 25.
Now you can check that all the following are Pythagorean
triples:
3 4 5
5 12 13
7 24 25
9 40 41
11 60 61
--------------------
By continuing the pattern, you can get a Pythagorean
triple in which the smallest member is an odd
number greater than 1. I'll let you figure out
the pattern! Hint: The next one is 13, 84, 85.
Good luck!

Rather than give you a full answer straight out, I'll give you a hint.

A Pythagorean triple is a set of 3 whole numbers (a, b, c) which form the sides of a right-angled triangle. That's to say three whole numbers (integers) which satisfy a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The first (lowest numbers) is 3, 4, 5 (3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5^2). That's one.

A hint for another... start with the longest side being 13...




Edit: or just take the first answer posted and don't bother trying to understand the process behind it. ;-)

pythagorean triples are numbers (integer) combination which related one and another in the form of three sides of the triangle.

example: 3, 4, 5 ---> insert the number to the phytagoras, then 5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2, it shows the relationship among 3, 4 and 5 as the sides of the triangle

another sample : 7, 24, 25 ----> put the number in phytagoras, 25^2 = 24^2 + 7^2, that shows the relationship as well
