Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's figure out how long it would take 1 person to dig the hole and then divide that number by 9 (since they are sharing the workload).
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
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}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2051%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20%2024%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%3D%20%20x%5E%7B2%7D%5Btex%5D%20%5Btex%5D%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20)
=2025
x=45, leg B
if 24 and 51 are both legs then
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
x=45, leg B
