a<sup>2</sup> + b<sup>2</sup> = c<sup>2</sup>

I'm going to start with Pythagorean triples.

3-4-5 doesn't work with this triangle. But if we multiply each of the values by 4, we get 12-16-20. A perfect match if we multiply them again by 10!

So the dimensions of the triangle are 120 (short leg), 160 (long leg), and 200 (hypotenuse).
