A pythagorean theorem states that the legs of the right triangle (a and b) and the hypotenuse obey the following relationship a2 + b2 = c2...A Pythagorean Triple is a right triangle that uses a set of numbers (1, 2, 3...etc.[no decimal]) that satisfy a2 + b2 = c2...
For example:
32+42=52
since 32 is 9 and 42 is 16...it equals to 52 which is 25...
You will know where the hypotenuse is because it is always on the opposite side of the right angle...
