Dimensions of a Right Triangle. The lengths of the sides of a right triangle are consecutive even integers. Find these lengths. (Hint: Use the Pythagorean theorem.)

 

That is a problem from my textbook. I know what the Phythagorean theroem is, but how do I solve using the even consecutive integers? Where do I plug in the numbers? How would I solve this porblem?

 

This is from Pearson MyLab Math, chapter 1, section 1.5 and is question 19.

 

I have a test on monday so anything will help. If the person trying to help me can set up the equation and explain why the numbers are in the spot, that would be great too.
