We know  because of the given information.

Scale (a,b,c) by R:  this results in a triangle with sides (Ra, Rb, Rc).



Now notice  

 

= 

= 

=  

= Rc



The interpretation: scaling a triangle that has sides corresponding to a Pythagorean triple preserves the Pythagorean relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse.
