Answer:
(36,323,325)
Step-by-step explanation:
A pythagoran triplet can be written in the base form (2n, n²-1 , n²+1) where n≥2 and n∈Z
Let us check if 36 can equal any of the values.
i) 2n = 36
n = 18
We have confirmed one possibility.
ii) n² - 1 = 36
n² = 37
n = √37
√37 is irrational so this is not a possibiity.
iii) n² + 1 = 36
n² = 35
n = √35
Once again this is irrational so this is also not a possibility.
We must take n=18
(2n, n²-1 , n²+1)
= ( 2*18, 324 - 1, 324 +1)
= (36,323,325)
Hope this helps.
