Detailed Solution

The Pythagorean triplet can be formed by the numbers 2m , m2 -1 , m2+1

( i) consider,

2 m = 6

m = 3

Substitute m = 3 in 2m , m2 -1 , m2+1

Here, 

m2 -1  = 9-1 = 8

 m2+1 = 9 +1 = 10

The Pythagorean triplet is 6, 8, 10

 

(ii) Consider,

2 m = 14

m = 7

Substitute m = 7 in 2m , m2 -1 , m2+1

Here, 

m2 -1  = 49-1 = 48

 m2+1 = 49 +1 = 50

The Pythagorean triplet is 14, 48, 50

 

(iii) Consider,

2 m = 16

m = 8

Substitute m = 8 in 2m , m2 -1 , m2+1

Here, 

m2 -1  = 64-1 = 63

 m2+1 = 64 +1 = 65

The Pythagorean triplet is 16, 63, 65

 

(iv) Consider,

2 m = 18

m = 9

Substitute m = 9 in 2m , m2 -1 , m2+1

Here, 

m2 -1  = 81-1 = 80

 m2+1 = 81 +1 = 82

The Pythagorean triplet is 18, 80, 82
