In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is 5 units long, and the legs also have integer lengths. how long are the legs? note: how many different cases are there?

5^2 = a^2 + b^2

25 = a^2 + b^2
 the other sides need to be shorter than 5 so plug them and and see what works:

25 = 4^2 +4^2 = 25 = 16+16 = 25 = 32 false

25 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16+9 = 25, 25 = 25 True

 the only one that works would be sides of 3 and 4 units long

Iknow one of the answers is a and maybe b but not 100% sure about b
