\n" ); document.write( "The given lengths are two sides of a right triangle. All three side lengths of the triangle are integers, and together they form a Pythagorean triple. Find the length of the third side, then indicate whether it is a leg or a hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "24 and 32
\n" ); document.write( "
Since it's a 3-4-5 Pythag triple, we find the GCF of 24 and 32. That's 8. 
\n" );
document.write( "When divided by 8, we get: \"matrix%281%2C7%2C+24%2F8%2C+%22=%22%2C+3%2C+and%2C+32%2F8%2C+%22=%22%2C+4%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, the 3rd or longest side, or 5 (hypotenuse), must be MULTIPLIED by 8 to get: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+5%288%29%2C+or%2C+40%29%29\" \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
