Can Pythagorean Triples Have Decimals?

Any three positive integers which satisfy the formula of a2 + b2 = c2 are known as Pythagorean triples. If any number of a Pythagorean triple is given, then the other two numbers can be generated by using, a = m2 - n2, b = 2mn, and c = m2 + n2. Pythagorean triples can not be in decimals.

Can Pythagorean triples have fractions?

In fact, all primitive Pythagorean triples are generated from two fractions in lowest form and all non-primitive Pythagorean triples are generated when at least one of the fractions is not in its lowest form.

Can a Pythagorean triple have square roots?

If you square each number, subtract one square from the square greater than it, then square root this number, you can find Pythagorean Triples. If the result is a whole number, the two numbers and the square rooted number make up a Pythagorean Triple. For example, 24^2 = 576, and 25^2 = 625.
