A Pythagorean triple consists of three natural numbers x, and z satisfying x^2+y^2=z^2 . By Pythagoras' theorem, this means these three numbers are the sides of a right triangle. Euclid knew how to solve this equation, and the solution involves three expressions which form also the basis of chromogeometry.

This video is part of the WildTrig series, which introduces Rational Trigonometry and applies it to many different aspects of geometry.
