A right triangle has sides of a, b, and 15, respectively, where a and b are both integers. What is the value of (a + b)?  Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) 220	B) 221	C) 225	D) 224	E) 226
LET a= hypotenuse , b =base ,15 = perpendicular . therefore a^2 -b^2 =15^2 or (a+b)(a-b) = 225   a+b =225/a-b ' a-b cannot be zero ..therefore a+ b =225 where a-b is equal to 1   225
