Answer: No,it is not possible to have a right triangle where the lengths of the legs are whole numbers and the length of the hypotenuse is 23.


Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean triplet, in a right angled triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side.

and it is given by m^2+1 and other two legs are given by m^2-1 and 2m

Now, the longest side= m^2+1=23

\Rightarrow\ m^2=23-1\\\Rightarrow\ m^2=22

But 22 is not a perfect square

Since 4^2=16 and  5^2=25, therefore the square root of 22 lies between 4 and 5.

Hence, it is not possible to have a right triangle where the lengths of the legs are whole numbers and the length of the hypotenuse is 23.
