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

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is

A

5, 12, 13

If we take m

2

-1=12

Then m

2

=12+1=13

Then the value of m will not be an integer

So we try to take m

2

+1=12 Again m

2

=11 will not give an integer value for m

So let us take 2m = 12

then m=6

Thus m

2

−1=36−1=35 and m

2

+1=36+1=37

Therefore the required triplet is 12, 35, 37

Note : All Phythagorean triplets may not be obtained using this form For example another triplet 5, 12, 13 also has 12 as a member
