Question

: Find a Pythagorean triplet in which one member is 12.​

Answer 1

Answer:

5, 12, 13 is the Pythagorean triplet

Answer 2

• we know 2m, m^{2} -1, m^{2} + 1
• one number of the triplet is 12
• 2m=12
• m=12÷2
• m=6

let, m-1=12

m=12+1

m^{2} = 13

since 13 is not a square number

it is not possible

let,

m+1=12

m=12-1

m^{2}= 11

since 11 is not a square number

it is not possible
