So the hyp = 4 and you are asking for the next longest side?
yeah i need to find the longest side
The longest side of a triangle is always the hyp. So if that is the case the question has the answer
no but i need to find the next longest side
Is it a whole number?
so it gives you the hyp but its asking for the longest leg not side
