Question

Find a Pythagorean triplet whose greatest member is 26.

Answer 1

(10,24,26) is a pythagorean triplet whose greatest member is 26

Answer 2

Answer:

The required Pythagorean triplet is = (10,26,24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the standard form of Pythagorean triplet is : 2·m, m² +1, m²-1

Now, the greatest member is given to be 26.

So, Take m²+1 = 26 ( Because m²+1 is the greatest triplet )

⇒ m² = 25

⇒ m = 5

Hence, the required Pythagorean triplet is : (2·m,m²+1,m²-1)

                                                                        = (10,26,24)
