If all three side lengths are INTEGERS and form PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLE then we know decimals are not allowed

if 24 and 51 are both legs then
24^{2} +  51^{2} =  x^{2}
x = 3177
and squre root of that gives us 56.364.... NOT an integer

So that means one of them is not a leg and since hypotenuse is longer than both legs, 51 must be the hypotenuse so to get the third side

51^{2} -  24^{2}  =  x^{2}[tex] [tex] x^{2}=2025
x=45, leg B

A right triangle has a side of length 1 fourth and a hypotenuse of length 1 third. What is the length of the other side?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The other side = \frac{1}{12} units

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has a side of length \frac{1}{4} units and;

the hypotenuse is \frac{1}{3}

According to Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c² , where a and b are the two legs of a triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

Lets say a² = (\frac{1}{4}) ^2   and  c² = ((\frac{1}{3} )^2

b² = c² - a²

b² = \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{144}

So b = \sqrt{1/144} = \frac{1}{12} units.

So the other side = \frac{1}{12} units.
