Question

Find a phthagoream triplet whose small est members is 17

Answer 1

Answer

Given ,

• Smallest member of a pythagorean triplet is 17

To find,

• The pythagorean triplet

Solution ,

We can write the member of pythagorean triplet as :

⇛ 2m , m² - 1 , m² + 1

⇛ (2m)² + (m² - 1)² = (m² + 1)²

Clearly we know that 2m is the smallest

⇛ 2m = 17

⇛ m = 8.5

Finding other members :

⇛ m² - 1

⇛ (8.5)² - 1

⇛ 72.25 - 1

⇛ 71.25 ---------(2nd member)

⇛ m² + 1

⇛ (8.5)² + 1

⇛ 72.25 + 1

⇛ 73.25 ---------(3rd member)

Hence the triplet is 17 , 71.25 , 73.25
