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 sports club rewards teams based on overall points earned in a season. The data for points are shown in the table, where Low re
Kay [80]
The team that should be awarded for consistent performance should be Team M. This is because the standard deviation of the team's players' scores is the lowest. Standard deviation is a measure of how much the individual data points vary from the average value, and for a consistent performance, this variation will be low.

The team with the highest average is Team N. The average is the same as the mean, and this is the highest for Team N, with a value of 13.
