Algebra.Com's Answer #339129 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You know that a = b = 10 is the maximum possible length of a side. {10,10,0} doesn't work, but {9,9,2}, {8,8,4}, {7,7,6}, {6,6,8} work. {5,5,10} doesn't work because 5+5 = 10, and it should be greater than 10 due to the triangle inequality. \n" ); document.write( " |
