Write a Pythagorean triplet whose smallest member is 6.

Answer»

Given 6 is the smallest number in Pythagorean triplet But we have for every number m>1, we have (2m, m2-1, m2+1) as a Pythagorean triplet Using the above condition we can write as 2m = 6

m=6/2=3

Then m= 9

m– 1 = 9 – 1 = 8

m+ 1 = 9 + 1 =10

Therefore the Pythagorean triplet is = (2m, m2-1, m2+1) = (6, 8, 10)
