The smallest possible length of the hypotenuse is 118
<h3>How to determine the hypotenuse?</h3>
The given parameters are:
- Triangle type: non-degenerate right triangle
- Legs: Length = 84 (at least 1)
The non-degenerate implies that the right triangle has a positive area.
Since at least one length is 84, then both lengths can also be 84.
The hypotenuse is then calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem.
h^2 = 84^2 + 84^2
Evaluate the sum
h^2 = 14112
Take the square root of both sides
h = 118.8
Round down
h = 118
Hence, the smallest possible length of the hypotenuse is 118
