Because: 3,4, and 5 are lengths of right-angled triangle, so 12,5, and 13 are, and many more

False. Pythagorean triples can result in an integer hypotenuse.
For example, leg = 3 cm, another leg = 4 cm, and hypotenuse = 5 cm.
Google "pythagorean triples" for more information. There are several similar examples.
