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

no, u cant

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.....pythagorean theorem used on only right triangles...where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = 23^2
a^2 + b^2 = 529...so u would have to find 2 square numbers that add up to 529. There aren't any.
