There are several standard right triangles with integer sides. It will help a lot if you just learn them -- they turn up often in problems, and it's nice not to have to do the calculations every time.

3-4-5
5-12-13
8-15-17
7-24-25

and multiples of those values

Pls how do you find sides of an angle with a given hypotenuse & unknown sides?
Answered by amrita chhetri
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2= 13^2
25+144=169
169=169
