The Pythagorean triplet \textit {Pythagorean triplet} in which biggest number is 10 can be found from the basic triplet ( 3 , 4 , 5 ) (3,4,5) by multiplying it with 2 2 we get ( 6 , 8 , 10 ) \huge (6,8,10) Thus perimeter is 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 6+8+10=\boxed{24}

AS we know genral formula of the pythagorian triplet is 2m,m^-1,m^+1 hypotenuse is equal to m^2+1 so M^2=9,m=3,so other two sides are of length 6and 8.So,perimeter is 6+8+10 =24

Why must it be a pythagorean triplet? It is not stated that the sides are integers.
