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
