Comments on Pythagorean Triples

The smallest such is {3, 4, 5}. A couple of other small triples are {5, 12, 13} and {7, 24 25}. These triples, and their multiples, often show up in textbook problems.

The {3, 4, 5} triple and its multiples are often used in construction for laying out square corners. (Accuracy can match or exceed that of laser tools.)
