Question 309593
The lengths of the sides of a right triangle are consecutive even integers , and the length of the shortest side is a x . which of the following equations could be used to find x ? 
-----------------------------
Note: 
"x" is not the appropriate variable form to use
to represent even integers. Every even integer
is a multiple of 2.  So even integers need to 
be represented as multiples of 2.
---
The correct answer should be 
(2x)^2 + (2(x+1))^2 = (2(x+2))^2
