A right triangle has sides of a, b, and 12, respectively, where a and b are both integers. What is the value of (a + b)? Pick one:	A) 144	B) 146	C) 148	D) 150	E) 152
LET a= hypotenuse , b =base ,12 = perpendicular . therefore a^2 -b^2 =12^2 or (a+b)(a-b) = 144   a+b =144/a-b ' a-b cannot be zero ..therefore a+ b =144 where a-b is equal to 1   144
