Example 24. Write a Pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 6 .
Ans: Given that smallest number is 6
We can get Pythagorean triplet by using general form 2 m, m 2  1, m 2  1
Let us first take
m2  1  8
So, m2  8  1  9
Which gives m  3
Therefore 2 m  6 and m2  1  10
The triplet is thus 6,8,10, but 8 is not the smallest member of this triplet.
So let us try
2m  8
then m  4
We get m2  1  16  1  15
and m2  1  16  1  17

The triplet is 8,15,17 with 8 as the smallest member.

2 | 3,4,5,6
2 | 3,2,5,3
3 | 3,1,5,3
5 |1,1,5,1
|1,1,1,1
Now, 60  2  2  3  5.
As 5 and 3 does not form pairs. So, 60 is not a perfect square. Hence, 60 should be
multiplied by 5  3  15 to get a perfect square.
So, the required least square number is  60 15  900.

Example 28. A ladder 10m long rests against a vertical wall. If the foot of the
ladder is 6m away from the wall and the ladder just reaches the top of the wall,
how high is the wall?
Ans: Let BC be the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall. and AC
be the ladder.
Given: AC  10m and BC  6m
Because ABC forms a right-angled triangle, Therefore, using Pythagoras theorem:
AC2  AB2  BC2
102  AB2  62
 AB2  102  62  100  36  64
 AB  64  8m
Hence, the wall is 8m high.
Example 29. Find the length of a diagonal of a rectangle with dimensions 20m
by 15m .

Ans: By using Pythagoras theorem, we know
Length of diagonal of the rectangle is given by  l 2  b 2 units
  20   15
2 2
m
 400  225m
 625m
 25m
Thus, the length of diagonal is 25m .
Example 30. The area of a rectangular field whose length is twice its breadth is
2450 m2 . Find the perimeter of the field.
Ans: If the breadth of the field is x metres then the length of the field is 2x metres.
We know, area of the rectangular field  length  breadth
Also given, area is  2450 m2 .
Therefore,

 2x  x   2x 2
 2450 m2 .
 2x 2  2450
2450
 x2   1225m
2
 x= 1225m
 x  35m
Therefore, breadth  35m and length  35  2  70m
Now the, perimeter of the field  2  l  b 
 2  70  35  m
 2 105m  210m
Example 31. During a mass drill exercise, 6250 students of different schools are
arranged in rows such that the number of students in each row is equal to the
number of rows. In doing so, the instructor finds out that 9 children are left
out. Find the number of children in each row of the square.
Ans: Given total number of students  6250
Students forming a square  62509  6241
Thus, 6241 students form a big square which has the number of rows equal to the
number of students in each row.
Now let the number of students in each row be x , then the number of rows  x
Therefore, x  x  6241
or
x2  6241

x  6241= 79
So, there are 79 students in each row of the square formed.
Example 32. Find the least number that must be added to 1500 ;.so as to get a
perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square.
Ans:
We can see 1500  382 and 392  1500
Hence, the number to be added

 392  1500
=1521 - 1500
=21
Therefore, the perfect square 1500  21  1521
 1521  39
Thus, the required number is 21 and the square root is 39.

Example 33. Application of problem solving strategies
Finding the smallest number by which 1620 must be divided to get a perfect
square.
Ans: Understand and Explore:
• What information is given in the question? – A number which is not a perfect

square.
• What we are trying to find? – The smallest number by which 1620 must be divided
to get a perfect square. Plan a strategy
• Using prime factorisation to find the product of prime factors of 1620.
• Pairing the prime factors to see if any factor is left unpaired.
• Then the unpaired factor will be the smallest number that must be divided to get a
perfect square.
Solve: Prime factorisation of 1620 is
2 |1620
2 | 810
5 | 405
3 | 81
3 | 27
3|9
3|3
|1
The product of prime factors  2  2  5  3  3  3  3

After Pairing these prime factors  2  2  5  3  3  3  3
We can see that the factor 5 is left unpaired. So, the required smallest number is 5.
To check if it is a perfect square. Divide 1620 by 5
1620  5  324
We can see that on dividing 1620 by 5 no remainder is left, therefore, 324 is a perfect
square, hence our answer is verified.

3600  2  2  2  2  3  3  5  5
Here, 2 , 3 and 5 have incomplete group of triplets. So, 3600 is not a Perfect cube.
To make it a perfect cube the number should be multiplied by the product of numbers
which have incomplete group of triplets i.e.2,3 and 5 therefore,
 3600   2  2  3  5 
 3600  60  216000   60 
