Look up. Pythagorean triples......   I think you will find there are none that are all odd # 's.......interesting.....

I know...but what is the proof that there are absolutely none with looking at the triples?

Say both legs are odd integers.....squares of all odd numbers are odd numbers too.....adding two odd numbers results in an even number ... the square root of an even number is an even number....

thus.  a^2 + b^2 = c^2.    Can never have all a and b and c as odd integers.
