Question

a right triangle has a hypotenuse with a length of 25. the lengths of the legs are whole numbers. what could be possible lengths of the legs?

Answer 1

Answer: 7 and 24

Step-by-step explanation: 7,24,25 is a set of pythagorean triples. 7 squared is 49, 24 squared is 576 and if you add the square of the two legs you get the square of the hypotenuse. (7 x 7) + (24 x 24) = (25 x 25)
