Question

2. (a) Write a Pythagorean triplet in which one number is 44​

Answer 1

Answer:

For any natural number greater than 1,(2m,m

2

−1,m

2

+1) is Pythagorean triplets.

So, if one number is 2m, then another two numbers will be m

2

−1 and m

2

+1.

Given, one number = 4

Then Pythagorean triplets:

2m=4 or m = 2

So,

m

2

−1=(2)

2

−1=4−1=3

m

2

+1=(2)

2

+1=4+1=5

Now, (3)

2

+(4)

2

=(5)

2

Or 9 + 16 = 25
