write a pythogorean triplet whose one of the member is 32
Answers
Answer:
32, 24, 40
Step-by-step explanation:
You can make a pythagorean triplet of any even number, x, by squaring x to get x², then dividing x² by four, to get x²/4 then adding 1 to the result x²/4 +1, and then subtracting one from the result x²/4 - 1.
32² => 1024 => 1024/4 => 256 => 256 + 1 = 257, 256 - 1 = 255: 32, 255, 257
But 32/2 = 16 which is even so:
16² => 256 => 256/4 => 64 => 64 + 1 = 65, 64 - 1 = 63: 2 x ( 16, 63, 65) = 32, 126, 130
But 32/4 = 8 which is even so:
8² => 64 => 64/4 => 16 => 16 + 1 = 17, 16 - 1 = 15: 4 x ( 8, 15, 17) = 32, 60, 68
But 32/8 = 4 which is even so:
4² => 16 => 16/4 => 4 => 4 + 1 = 5, 4 - 1 = 3: 8 x ( 4, 3, 5) = 32, 24, 40

Pythagorean triplets:
For any natural number m > 1, we have (2m) ² + (m2 – 1)²= (m2 + 1)² . So, 2m, m² – 1 and m² + 1 forms a Pythagorean triplet.
=========================================================
Solution:
i)
Let 2m = 6
m = 3
m²+ 1 = 3² + 1= 9 + 1 = 10
m²- 1 = 3 2 - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8
check:
6 ² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10²
Hence, the triplet is 6, 8 & 10
ii)
Let 2 m = 14
m = 7
m² + 1 = 7²+ 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
m²- 1 = 7² - 1 = 49 - 1 = 48
check:
14² + 48² = 196 + 1304 = 2500 = 50²
Hence, the triplet is 14, 48, and 50
iii)
Let 2 m = 16,
m = 8
m² + 1 = 8² + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65
m²- 1 = 8 2 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63
check:
16² + 63² = 256 + 3969 = 4225 = 65²
Hence, the triplet is 16, 63 & 65
iv)
Let 2 m = 18
m = 9
m² + 1 = 9² + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82
m² - 1 = 9² - 1 = 81 - 1 = 80
check:
18²+ 80² = 324 + 6400 = 6724 = 82²
Hence, the triplet is 18, 80 & 82
