ABSTRACT
The research aims to find out the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle
by knowing only the hypotenuse. The research problem lies in the difficulty of finding
the length of the two sides if you only knew the length of the hypotenuse of the right-
angled, through the Pythagorean theorem" a right angled triangle:the square of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides". Therefore, the
researcher works to find constants in the right-angled triangle. The method which is
adopted by the researcher was mathematical induction and accurate scientific
observation. The researcher moved from partial cases to generalization to achieve the
objectives of the research. The researcher was able to discover constants in the right-
angled triangle: They are (0.6), (0.8).
This research enables us to reach an infinite number of Pythagorean triads.
This triangle(1,0.8,0.6) generates the golden triangle of Pythagorean
The researcher termed the symbol "A" to demonstrate the value of the constant (0.8).
The researcher termed the symbol "O" to demonstrate the value of the constant (0.6).

First observation: 5
A2 + B2 = C2 3
(3) ^ 2 + (4) ^ 2 = (5) ^ 2 (1)
(6) ^2 + (8) ^ 2 = (10) ^ 2 (2)
Through two relationships(1) & (2) :The researcher noted that: 4
10/5 = 8/4 = 6/3 = 2 Figure 2
From the above:
In a right-angled triangle along the hypotenuse (C = 10)
10/5 = 2
2*5 = 10
2*3 = 6 6 10
2*4 =8
C = 10
A=6
8
B=8
The first example: Figure 3
C = 75
A=?
B=?
The solution:
75/5= 15
15*3 = 45
15*4 = 60
A = 45
B = 60
solution Validation by using the Pythagorean theorem:
A2 + B2 = C2
(45)2 + (60)2 = (75)2
2025 + 3600 = 5625
The Second example:
C = 100.
A=?
B=?

The solution:
100/5= 20
20*3 = 60
20*4 = 80
A = 60
B = 80
solution Validation by using the Pythagorean theorem:
A2 + B2 = C2
(60)2 + (80)2 = (100)2
3600 + 6400 = 10000
Second Observation:
The researcher noted after the dissolution of this example and through
comparison between the right-angled triangle, with length of Hypotenuse
(100), and length of sides (60) & (80) and the right-angled triangle along
Hypotenuse (10) length of sides (6) & (8).
The researcher noted: it can be solved in a way easier than the
previous way.
The third example:
C = 153.
A=?
B=?
The solution:
153/10= 15.3
15.3*6 = 91.8
15.3*8 = 122.4
A = 91.8
B = 122.4
B= (0.8) C

example:
A=?
B = 0.8
C=?
The solution:
C = (1.25)B
C = (1.25)(0.8)
C=1
A = (0. 6)C
A = 0.6
example:
A=?
B=7
C = ?.
The solution:
C = (1.25)B
C = (1.25)(7)
C = 8.75
A = (0.6)C
A = (0.6)(8.75)
A = 5.25
solution Validation by using the Pythagorean theorem:
A2 + B2 = C2
(5.25)2 + (7)2 = (8.75)2
8427.24 + 14981.76 = 23409
