Question

The given lengths are two sides of a right triangle. All three side lengths of the triangle are integers, and together they form a Pythagorean triple. Find the length of the third side, then indicate whether it is a leg or a hypotenuse.

Explanation:

a² + 28² = 96² *the hypotenuse is always the longest side

a² + 784 = 9216

a² = 8432

a = √8432

'a' is approximately 92, and is a leg
