Question

Find the Pythagorean triplet whose smallest member is 12 *

Answer 1

For finding it we will divide 12 by 2=

12/2=6

now by applying formula n2+1=(6)2+1=36+1=37

other formula=n2 -1=(6)2-1=36-1=35

the ans is 12 35 37

Answer 2

Answer:

12, 35 & 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean triplets are of the form 2m , m²+1,m²-1 .

2m is smallest when m > 2

Here , 2m = 12

=> m = 6

Other Pythagorean triplets are :-

m²+1 = 36+1 = 37

m²+1 = 36+1 = 37m²-1 = 36-1 = 35
