Answer 2

Answer:

The Pythagorean Triplets are 8, 15 and 17.

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

To find the Pythagorean triplets we using the formula,

2m, m² - 1, m² + 1

Here we need 8 to be the smallest number in the triplet.

Also, in the general formula 2m gives the smallest number.

So,

2m = 8

m = 8/2

m = 4

Then,

the numbers are (4)² - 1 and (4)² + 1

= 16 - 1 and 16 + 1

= 15 and 17

Hence,

The Pythagorean Triplets are 8, 15 and 17.

Option C is correct

Hope it helped and believing you understood it........All the best
