The area of a right triangle=12, & the base & height have integer values. What is a value for the sum of b+h?

The area of a right triangle is 12, and the base and height have integer values. What is one possible value for the sum of the base and height of the triangle?|||area = 1/2 * b * h


therefore


b * h = 24


b =6


h =4


b+h = 10





Hope that helped|||b=2, h=12


sum= 14





b=3, h=8


sum= 11
