The lengths of the three sides of a right triangle are given by three consecutive even integers. Find the lengths of the three sides.
-----------
It's 6, 8 & 10, 2x the 3,4,5 right triangle.
---------
x%5E2+%2B+%28x%2B2%29%5E2+=+%28x%2B4%29%5E2
You can solve that and get the answer.
%28x-2%29%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+=+%28x%2B2%29%5E2 is easier, tho.
