Question

Write a Pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 14

Answer 1

We know that 2m,m2−1 and m2+1 is a Pythagorean triplet where m>1

according to question

smallest number =14

• means 2m =14

m=14/2=7

• m²-1= 7²-1

= 49-1= 48

• m²+1=7²+1

= 49+1=50

hence the required triplet is 14, 48 and 50
