Write the Pythagorean triplet whose one of the numbers is 4.

Solution:

Given, one of the numbers is 4.

We have to write a pythagorean triplet.

For every natural number m > 1, 2m, m²-1 and m² + 1 form a pythagorean triplet.

Given, 2m = 4

m = 4/2

m = 2

So, m²-1 = (2)² - 1

= 4 - 1

= 3

So, m²+1 = (2)² + 1

= 4 + 1

= 5

Therefore, the pythagorean triplet is 3, 4, 5.
