Primitive Solutions of Pythagorean Equation
The set of all primitive Pythagorean triples is generated by:
 * $\left({2 m n, m^2 - n^2, m^2 + n^2}\right)$

where:
 * $m, n \in \Z$ are positive integers
 * $m \perp n$, i.e. $m$ and $n$ are coprime
 * $m$ and $n$ are of opposite parity
 * $m > n$.

Proof 2
Let $\left({A,B,C}\right)$ be a Definition:Pythagorean Triple:


 * $A^2 + B^2 = C^2$

By the Pythagorean theorem, this equation describes the sides of a right triangle:

By the definitions of sine and cosine:

That is,

Next, we invoke Equiangular Triangles are Similar and Proportion is Equivalence Relation to write:

We construct the following restriction of $\tan \dfrac \theta 2$.

From Shape of Tangent Function, $\tan \dfrac \theta 2: \left({-\pi \,.\,.\, \pi}\right) \leftrightarrow \left({0 \,.\,.\, +\infty}\right)$ is a bijection.

Restrict $\tan \dfrac \theta 2$ on this interval so that its image is the set of strictly positive rational numbers:


 * $\tan \dfrac \theta 2: \tan^{-1}\left[{\Q_{>0}}\right] \leftrightarrow \Q_{>0}$

Then $\displaystyle \tan \frac \theta 2 = \frac p q$ for any $\dfrac p q \in \Q_{>0}$, where $\dfrac p q$ is the canonical form of a rational number.

From the Double Angle Formulas:
