The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to solvefor missing sides in right triangles. Given a right triangle with sides a, b and c, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse. Or a2 + b2 = c2. Pythagorean Triples are three whole numbers,a,b, and c, which satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. The most famous Pythagorean Triple is {3,4,5}.
