Moira said, "If a right triangle has one side with a length of 3 units and one side with a length
of 4 units, then the third side has a length of 5 units."
Moira's claim is not true. Give an example of a right triangle with sides of length 3, 4, and a
number other than 5. Explain your reasoning.

If the two sides with length 3 and 4 are the two legs, then the missing side, i.e. the hypotenuse, is indeed 5.

But it could also be the case that 4 is the hypotenuse and 3 is one of the legs. In this case, the missing side is the other leg, so we calculate it using

So, a right triangle with legs and 3 has an hypotenuse of 4.

a. -0.3 > -0.33

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
