A set of 3 nonzero whole numbers say (a,b,c) that form the sides of a right triangle and follow the pythagorous theorem
[tex] a^2+b^2=c^2\\ [/tex]
are called a Pythagorean Triple
The example of Pythagorean Triplet are
(3,4,5), (5,12,13) ,(8,15,17), etc.
Hence
A set of 3 nonzero whole numbers that form the sides of a right triangle are called a Pythagorean Triple.
