Question
Write a Pythagorean triplet whose one member is 16.
Solution
The three numbers of Pythagorean triples are 2m, m2 - 1 and m2 + 1.
Here, 2m = 16
So, m = 8
Second number (m2 - 1)
= (8)2 - 1
= 64 - 1
= 63
Third number (m2 + 1)
= (8)2 + 1
= 64 + 1
= 65
Hence the Pythagorean triplet is (16, 63, 65).
