The given lengths are two sides of a right triangle. all three side lengths of the triangle are integers and together form a pythagorean triple. find the length of the third side, and tell whether it is a leg or a hypotenuse.
2 given length: 24, 51
a.
21 leg
b.
45 leg
c.
48 leg
d.
56 hypotenuse

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

=2025
x=45, leg B
