PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM: Two legs of a right triangle are equal and have length "a", which is an integer. The hypotenuse of that triangle has length "c", which is also an integer. The choices for this are A. Never B. Sometimes and C. Always Please help in any way you can. Thanks c:

Well because the theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then I think that the answer would be C. Always

|dw:1379635090915:dw| this is all of the information that im able to understand. can you please clarify your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sometimes actually. Doesn't always have to be an integer...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I think there should be more info...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

This is the entire question. I think the answer is sometimes because an integer is any number that isn't a fraction. I know the hypotenuse is always longer than the legs so, if it was going to be a fraction, it would have to be an improper fraction. But still, I think it could sometimes not be an integer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes the answer should be sometimes AS THIS is a specific case for ISOCELES right ANGLE triangle
