Question

Identify the Pythagorean triplet whose one of the member is 12

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that general form of Pythagorean triplet is (2m,m²-1,m²+1)

Here, 2m = 12, m =12/2=6.

Hence, the triplet is [ 2(6), 6^2-1,6^2+1]

Therefore, The pythagorean triplet whose one number is 12 is 12,35,37.

As her there is not mentioned 12 is the smallest, we can have two more triplets (9,12,15), (12,16,20)
