Pythagorean Triplets

<p><strong>Correction: </strong>In the video, you'll see that two Pythagorean triplets are incorrectly labeled. For the Pythagorean Triplets with 13 and 17, respectively, those two lengths should be the hypotenuse (longest side) of the right triangle.</p><p><strong><span style="color:#8e44ad;">Pythagorean Triplets</span></strong> are right triangles in which all three sides are integers. Here are the most common examples. I recommend memorizing these. GRE likes to use them.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#e74c3c;">NOTE</span>: </strong>Not to scale.</p>
