using parametric equations. A classical such solution is Euclid's parametrization of right triangles such that the lengths of their sides and their hypotenuse are coprime integers. As and are not both even (otherwise and would not be coprime), one may exchange them to have even, and the parameterization is then

where the parameters and are positive coprime integers that are not both odd.

By multiplying
