Beyond Pythagoras In this piece of coursework I will be exploring Pythagorean triples which are beyond Pythagoras. Pythagoras is where you have a right angled triangle and you know the values of sides a + b but you don't know what side c is (hypotenuse). To calculate the hypotenuse you can square sides a + b and add the two answers together as one total. This total is equal to c2 so all you have to do now is find the square root of the total and you have worked out side c. A Pythagorean triple is where the first two sides of a triangle (a + b) suit this equation: a2 + b2 = c2. For example lets say a=1, b=2, c=3. Now let's try this in a Pythagoras equation: a2 + b2 = c2 (12 + 22 = 32) this is not correct!!! 12 + 22 = 5 we should...
