Question

Write a Pythagorean triplet whose one member is 18.

Sum

Solution

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

Here, 2m = 18

So, m = 9

Second number (m2 - 1)

= (9)2 - 1

= 81 - 1

= 80

Third number (m2 + 1)

= (9)2 + 1

= 81 + 1

= 82

Hence the Pythagorean triplet is (18, 80, 82).
