Question

Find the pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 8

Answer 1

8, 15,17 is the triplet

Answer 2

Answer:

8 , 15 and 17 is the Pythagorean triplet

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“.

And a Pythagorean triplet is a  set of 3 numbers which satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.

a, b and c are said to be triplet if

$a^{2}  + b^{2}    =   c^{2}$

Here, 8, 15 and 17 satisfy the theorem as ,

$8^{2}  +15^{2}    =   17^{2}$
