Pythagorean Triple

Part 1.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the two
legs (a & b) and the hypotenous is (c). The Pythagorean Theorem is - a2 + b2 = c2. The Pythagorean Triple is when you have 2 perfect squares you add the two perfect squares (the legs a & b) together. Then when you add them together you get another perfect square.

a2 + b2 = c2
(a squared + b squared = c squared)
