Question

find a Pythagorean triplet whose greatest number is 17​

Answer 1

Answer:

17,15,8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean triplet :

2m,m²-1,m²+1

therefore,

m²+1=17

m²=17-1

m²=16

m=$\sqrt{16}$

m=4

therefore

2m= 2*4=8

m²-1=4²-1 = 16-1 = 15

Answer 2

m²+1=17

m²=17-1

m²=16

m=\sqrt{16}

16

m=4

therefore

2m= 2*4=8

m²-1=4²-1 = 16-1 = 15
