Right triangle generator

Detective Harry Thomson found on the Internet a generator for the side lengths of right triangles. According to it: a = 2xy, b = x² − y², c = x² + y², where x and y are natural numbers and x > y. Is it a working generator?

Result

q=




Step-by-step explanation:

 a=2xy b =x2  y2 c = x2 + y2  c2 = a2 + b2 (x2 + y2)2 = (2xy)2 + (x2  y2)2 x4 + 2 x2 y2 + y4 = 4x2y2 + x4  2x2y2 + y4 2 x2 y2  = 4x2y2  2x2y2 2 x2 y2  = 2x2y2 1  q=1
