The 2 sides of the right triangle is 25 and 24.

Any multiple of a Pythagorean triple is also considered a Pythagorean triple. Multiplying 3, 4, 5 by 2 gives 6, 8, 10, which is another triple. To see if a set of numbers makes a Pythagorean triple, plug them into the Pythagorean Theorem.

3,4,5 5,12,13 7,24,25 8,15,17 9,12,15

Final Result: 25,24
