Question

the Pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 6 is​

Answer 1

The triplet is 6, 8, 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean triplet is always ...

2n, n^2 -1 and n^2 +1.

So, here the smallest number of the triplet is 6.

Therefore, 2n = 6.

Hence, n = 3.

Second number :

n^2 - 1 = 3^2 - 1

= 9 - 1

= 8.

Third number :

n^2 + 1 = 3^2 + 1

= 9 + 1

= 10.

Hence, the triplet is : 6, 8 , 10.
