Answer:
12,35,37
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras triplets are in the form 2m,m^2+1,m^2-1
since greatest number is 37,
m^2+1 = 37
m^2 = 37-1
m^2 = 36
m = √36
m = 6
therefore, 2m = 2×6 = 12
m^2 - 1 = 6^2 -1 = 36-1 = 35
hence triplets are 12,35,37
Verification:
12^2+35^2 = 37^2
144+1225 = 1369
hence verified
