Question

In right angled triangle the smallest side is 17 units and remaining sides are integers then find the perimeter of the triangle ?

Answer 1

given smallest side =17cm
here we use concept to find Pythagorian triplet .
step 1:- take square of smallest side
e.g 17^2=289

step 2:- now divided by 2
289/2=144.5

step 3:-
largest side = resultant +0.5
=144.5 +0.5=145
second large side =resultant -0.5
=144
hence side of triangle are 17cm,144cm,and 145cm

now perimeter =(17 cm+144cm+145cm)
=306cm
