Question
Write the Pythagorean triplet whose one of the numbers is 4.
Advertisements
Solution
For any natural number greater than 1, (2m, m2 – 1, m2 + 1) is Pythagorean triplets.
So, if one number is 2m, then another two numbers will be m2 – 1 and m2 + 1.
Given, one number = 4
Then Pythagorean triplets:
2m = 4 or m = 2
So, m2 – 1 = (2)2 – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3
m2 + 1 = (2)2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
Now, (3)2 + (4)2 = (5)2
⇒ 9 + 16 = 25
⇒ 25 = 25
Therefore, Pythagorean triplets are 3, 4 and 5.

From the pattern, we can say that the sum of the first n positive odd numbers is equal to the square of the n-th positive number. Putting that into formula:
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ... n = n2, where the left hand side consists of n terms.
Observe the following pattern \[1 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 1 \times \left( 1 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[ 1 + 2 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 2 \times \left( 2 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[ 1 + 2 + 3 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 3 \times \left( 3 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 4 \times \left( 4 + 1 \right) \right\}\]and find the values of following:
