Question

Pythagorean triples are the three positive integers that completely satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that in any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs of the right triangle. These three sides of the right triangle form the Pythagorean triples.” Based on the above information find a Pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 20.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for finding Pythagorean triplets is :

(m^2 - 1)^2 + (2m) = (m^2+1)^2

a/q,

least number is 20,

therefore m = 20/2=10

putting the value of m we get

(10^2 -1) + (2×10) = (10^2 + 1)^2

99^2 + 20 ^2 = 101^2

if this is not the correct answer then can u please share the pic of the question and the answer given in ur book ...it will help me tooo .

Answer 2

Answer:

20,21,29

Step-by-step explanation:

$m^{2} -n^{2} = 21\\2mn=20\\m^{2}+n^{2} =29\\m=5\\ n=2$

thanks in advance
