Given: A right triangle and all the sides of the triangle are whole numbers. Does this imply that all the sides of the triangle can only be found by using the Pythagorean triple formula? Another words, is it possible that a right triangle can exist with whole number sides that escape the Pythagorean triple formula? Or put another way, does the Pythagorean triple formula capture every possible right trangle with whole number sides?
