Answer 1

Answer:

pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 20 is 20 ,99,101

Answer 2

Answer:

Given 20 is the smallest number in Pythagorean triplet But we have for every number m>1, we have (2m, m2-1, m2+1) as a Pythagorean triplet Using the above condition we can write as 2m = 20 m= 20/2=10 Then m2 =100 m2 – 1 = 100 – 1 = 99 m2 + 1 = 100 + 1 =101 Therefore the Pythagorean triplet is = (2m, m2-1, m2+1) = 20,99,101
