Hello hivers and math bugs

We all know how to find a Pythagorean triplet.If two sides of a right angle triangle are given, we can find the third side using the triplet. Such as, if two sides of a triangle 3 cm and 4 cm, the third side will be 5 cm.

The conventional way to find the third side as follows:

That's not the end, I want to share with you something special.Which is finding Pythagorean Triplet When you know only one side of a right angle triangle. Yes we can find the other two sides also.

WHEN MEASUREMENT OF A GIVEN SIDE OF A RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE IS AN ODD NUMBER:

WHEN MEASUREMENT OF A GIVEN SIDE OF A RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE IS AN EVEN NUMBER:

T & C

We can always find the greater two numbers of the Pythagorean Triplet when the least is given.Make sure you separate odd and even one cause they need different approach to solve as you have seen.

TEST:

If the length of a side of a right angle triangle be 9 unit ,find the other greater sides of it.
And find the same as it asked in the first question when the given side is 12.

Please feel free to make a comment.I am awaiting.😊

Using ecency app , I have made two post before. Still all the features of the app are not familiar to me.I had a hard time with the post.😢I hope you will appreciate my work.
