Example 3 Find a Pythagorean triplet in which one member is 12. We know 2m, ๐^2โ1 and ๐^2+1 form a Pythagorean triplet. Given, One member of the triplet = 12. Let 2m = 12 2m = 12 m = 12/2 m = 6 Let ๐^๐โ๐" = 12" ๐^2 = 12 + 1 ๐^2 = 13 Since, 13 is not a square number, โด ๐^2โ1 โ 12 It is not possible. Let ๐^๐+๐ = 12 ๐^2 = 12 โ 1 ๐^2 = 11 Since, 11 is not a square number, โด ๐^2+1 โ 12 It is not possible. Therefore, m = 6 Finding Triplets for m = 6 1st number = 2m 2nd number = ๐^2โ1 3rd number = ๐^2+1 โด The required triplet is 12, 35, 37
