Hi! How would I find all values that satisfy the equation
A^2=(B^2+C^2)/2
Where all values must be whole numbers
 
I want to give you clues without giving the full answer, but these are probably quite obvious.

There's a trivial set of solutions if you consider A=m, B=m, C=?

And there are more solutions too. If you know that Pythagorean triples can be generated then consider the result of \((x+y)^2 + (x-y)^2\)

3 4 5 <-> 1 7 5
6 8 10 <-> 2 14 10
5 12 13 <-> 7 17 13
