A right triangle has sides of a, b, and 7, respectively, where a and b are both integers. What is the value of (a + b)? Choose the correct answer
A) 40	B) 42	C) 46	D) 48	E) 49
LET a= hypotenuse , b =base ,7 = perpendicular . therefore a^2 -b^2 =7^2 or (a+b)(a-b) = 49   a+b =49/a-b ' a-b cannot be zero ..therefore a+ b =49 where a-b is equal to 1   49
