Triplet Project

Pythagorean triples are sets of three positive integers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, where a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides a and b. The document provides examples of Pythagorean triples generated from Pythagorean's formula and explains that to get a Pythagorean triplet, one sets (m^2 + n^2)^2 equal to (2mn)^2 + (m^2 - n^2)^2 to prove the theorem. It also briefly introduces Pythagoras as a Greek philosopher and mathematician who developed the theorem relating the sides of a right triangle.

WHAT IS PYTHAGORAS TRIPLET?

PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLES are any three positive integers that completely satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.
PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLES are a set of 3 positive numbers that fit in the formula of the Pythagoras theorem
which is expressed as, a2 + b2 = c2, where a, b, and c are positive integers. Here, 'c' is the 'hypotenuse' or
the longest side of the triangle and 'a' and 'b' are the other two legs of the right-angled triangle. The
Pythagorean triples are represented as (a,b, c).

HOW TO GET PYTHOGOREAN TRIPLET?
C2=A2+B2
(m2+n2)2=(2mn)2+(m2-n2)2
m4+2m2n2+n4 = 4m2n2 + m4-2m2n2+n4
m4+2m2n2+n4 = m4+2m2n2+n4
