Question 815608: what is the greatest and smallest possible integral lengths of the hypotenuse of the right triangle if the two sides measures 8 cm and 5 cm?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! use pythagorean thm:
h = sqrt( aa + bb )
---
h = sqrt( 8*8 + 5*5 )
h = sqrt( 64 + 25 )
h = sqrt( 89 )
h = 9.434

Answer:
this is a trick question.
this triangle cannot have a hypotenuse with an integral length (i.e. a hypotenuse whose length is an integer value).
