Beyond pythagoras (coursework)

The last question on my "beyond Pythagoras" coursework is:

"investigate the relationships between the three sides of a right-angled triangle. You are advised to look at a triplet where the smallest side is an odd number."

Anyone got any ideas on how I can investigate, and what I can investigate, and how I set about it, and what I'm trying to prove? I'm sooo confuzzled :confused:

thanks, loz xxx

prove there are an infinite number of pythagorean triples.
