Question

write a Pythagorean triplet whose smallest member is 9?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Pythagorean Triplet is : 9, 12, 15. The smallest member is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider ∆ABC in which AC is the hypotenuse and <ABC=90° .

By Pythagoras theorem,

(AB)^2 + (BC)^2= (AC)^2

9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225

LHS = RHS

Hence, the Pythagorean triplet here is: 9, 12, 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

The pythogorean triplet is 9, 40, 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2= b+c

c-b=1

So,

9^2 = 81

81 = 40 + 41

= 9, 40, 41
