A corner of a fenced yard forms a right angle. Can you place a 12 foot long board across the corner to form a right triangle for which the leg lengths are whole numbers? Explain

Answer:

No

Explanation:

I think the answer is no because we can not find the 2 wholes numbers to serve as the lengths in the right triangle because theirs sum can not be equal
12^(2) = 144.

Hope it will find you well
