Answer:

REF. Image.

We know the basic Pythagorean

triplet 3, 4 and 5.

Let us construct a triangle which have sides in a multiple of 3, 4 & 5.

here AB=3a

BC=4a

& let, get AC as 5a

From Pythagoras theorem

where aϵz

+

AC

=AB

+BC

=(3a)

+(4a)

=9a

AC

=25a

AC=5a

So, Let us put a = 4 we get

AB = 12, BC = 16 & AC = 20.

So, We have Pythagorean triplet:

12, 16 and 20.
