Pythagorean triplet of 15
Answers
Answer:
The formula of Pythagorean triplet are 2m,m^2 - 1 and m^2 +1.
Answer:
Pythagorean Triplets are 8 , 15 and 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
the Given number is 15.
To find: Another Pythagorean triplet.
We know that Pythagorean triplets are in the form of
2m , m² - 1 and m² + 1
First we find value of m by putting it equal to each term
take,
2m = 15 ⇒ m = 7.5 ( m can not be a decimal )
m² - 1 = 15 ⇒ m² = 16 ⇒ m = ±4
m² + 1 = 15 = m² = 14 ( No whole number for m² = 14 )
So, Value of m = +4 , -4 but -4 is not a whole number
⇒ m = 4
Now Pythagorean triplets = 2m , m² - 1 , m² + 1
= 2(4) , 4² - 1 , 4² + 1
= 8 , 16 - 1 , 16 + 1
= 8 , 15 , 17
Therefore, Pythagorean Triplets are 8 , 15 and 17.
