Perimeter: I want to find a formula to enable me to find the perimeter for any odd Pythagorean triple. I know that perimeter is a + b + c so I know the formula for the shortest, middle and longest side so I can assume that if I substitute the formulas I know, I can presume I will find the formulas for the perimeter. The perimeter = a + b + c. Therefore I took my formula for 'a' (2n + 1), my formula for 'b' (2n² + 2n) and my formula for 'c' (2n² + 2n + 1). I then did the following: a + b + c (2n + 1) + (2n² + 2n) + (2n² + 2n + 1) = 2n + 1 + 2n + 2n + 1 + 4n² = 4n² + 6n + 1 + 1 = 4n² + 6n + 2 = formula for perimeter I will...
