Answer:

(30, 72, 78)

Explanation:

When testing a number of triples to see if they are Pythagorean triples, it can be convenient to let a spreadsheet do the math. The attachment shows us the triple at lower left (30, 72, 78) is a Pythagorean triple. That is, the sum of the squares of the smaller two numbers is the square of the larger, so they can form a right triangle.

__

You may recognize these numbers have the ratios 5:12:13, the ratios of an often-used triple.
