A carpenter wanted a flat piece of wood
in a shape of right angled triangle,and
one of it's [sic] sides was to have a lenght
of 3m. Calculate the lenght of the other
two sides if they were consecutive whole
numbers.
-------------
Use right triangle, not "right angled triangle"
-----
length, not lenght
it's = it is
*********************
Only the well known 3-4-5 right triangle has sides of consecutive integers.
For consecutive even numbered sides, it's 6-8-10
