Answer:
9 for the hypotenuse, and
for the two legs
Step-by-step explanation:
For these types of problems, we need to make sure that the values of legs are as big as possible while keeping the hypotenuse larger than legs because otherwise, it won’t be a right triangle.
So for the hypotenuse, we have to put the largest number in this number bank because the hypotenuse has to be larger than both legs. So the hypotenuse will equal 9. The rest is simple. Get the numbers as large as possible. Since the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs, we cannot use sqrt(81) and sqrt(64) (that would’ve been sweet). So we have to use sqrt(64) and sqrt(25) because sqrt(49) and sqrt(36) are already taken since we can only use a number once.
I'm not an expert at this and I cannot guarentee that this is correct. But I hope that this helps.
