## Pythagorean Triples
This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/mathematics/pythagorean-triples/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>.
A pythagorean triple is a set of three numbers, a, b, and c, that satisfies the equation `a^2 + b^2 = c^2`. When a triangle is made with side lengths equal to a, b, and c, it will be a right triangle.

The smallest pythagorean triple is 3,4,5. There is an infinite number of these pythagorean triples. They can be constructed using the following process:

When m and n are positive integers such that m is less than n:
- a = `n^2 - m^2`
- b = `2nm`
- c = `n^2 + m^2`
Then a, b, and c will form a pythagorean triple. The formula above is known as Euclid's formula.
