HELPPPP MEEEEEEEE ! Can you have a right triangle where the lengths of the legs are whole numbers and the length of the hypotenu
se is 23? Explain.

Answer:
The answer is NO
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, any <em>right triangle</em> has to obey the Pythagorean Theorem Formula.
This theorem says:
If a, b are two sides of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse, the formule is:
There are few combinations of whole numbers that satisfy the equation. They are called "Pythagorean Triples". I have attached an image that it shows these combinations. You can choose whatever combination and its multiples satisfy the equation as well.
Finally, if you see the image, there are not combination where the hypotenuse is 23.

Answer:
Line segment A B is longer than Line segment F D. This is the correct statement from the given statements.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In ΔABC and ΔFDE
Segment AC≅Segment FE
Segment BC≅Segment DE
∠BCA = 72° and ∠DEF = 65°
Now by the property of a Triangle we know that
Side opposite to the greater angle is longer than the side opposite to the smaller angle.
So, Side opposite to the greater angle (∠BCA = 72°) is AB and
The side opposite to the smaller angle (∠DEF = 65°) is FD.
Therefore, side AB is Longer than side FD.
