Solution

As we know, we have Pythagorean
triplet 7, 24 anf 25. as,
(25)2=(7)2+(24)2
So, For general Pythagorean triplet, we
have sides of positive number.
25, 24 & 7 and (a) product as sides
Let side
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB=24a
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BC=7a
where aϵz+
So, AC2=AB2+BC2
=(24a)2+(7a)2
AC2=576a2+49a2
AC2=625a2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AC=25a
So, For a = 2, we have, triplet
BC=7(2)=14
AB=24(2)=48
& AC=25(2)=50
Pythagorean triplet 14, 48 & 50.
