Question

Write a Pythagorean triplet whose one member is 14.

Sum

Solution

The three numbers of the Pythagorean triplet are 2m, m2 - 1, and m2 + 1.

Here, 2m = 14

so, m = 7

Second number (m2 - 1) = (7)2 - 1

= 49 - 1

= 48

Third number (m2 + 1) = (7)2 + 1

= 49 + 1

= 50

Hence the Pythagorean triplet is (14, 48, 50).
