If a^2 + b^2 = 144 and ab ≠ 0, then the greatest possible value for b is between  Choose the most appropriate option
A) 16 and 13
B) 12 and 3
C) 11 and 4
D) 10 and 5
E) 9 and 6
Since a ≠ 0, greatest possible value for b will be less than 12 but closer to it.   So it lies between 11 and 12   ANSWER:12 and 3
<result>B</result>
If a^2 + b^2 = 144 and ab ≠ 0, then the greatest possible value for b is between
