2. In ABC,B = 90°. Find the sides of the
triangle, if :
(i) AB = (x – 3) cm, BC = (x + 4) cm and
AC = (x + 6) cm
(ii) AB = x cm, BC = (4x + 4) cm and
AC = (4x + 5) cm

Step-by-step explanation:
HEY MATE YOUR ANSWER IS HERE ^_^
by the Pythagoras theorem
AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2
(1)
(x-3)^2+(x+4)^2 = (x+6)^2
x^2-6x+9+x^2+8x+16 = x^2+12x+36
x^2-10x-11=0
x^2-11x+x-11=0
x(x-11)+1(x-11)=0
(x-11)(x+1)=0
x = 11 or -1
side can't be negative therefore x=11
please make me a brainlist answer for the question

Answer:
For right angle triangle
by Pythagoras theorem
ab^2 + bc^2 = ac^2
(x-3)^2 + (x+4)^2 = (x+6)^2
x^2 -6x +9 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 12x + 36
2x^2 +2x + 25 = x^2 + 12x + 36
x^2 -10x -11 = 0
x = (-b+-√(b^2 -4ac))/2a
x = {-(-10) +- √(100+44)}/2
=(10 +- √144)/2
= (10 +- 12)/2
x=(10+12)/2 or x = (10 -12)/2
x= 22/2 or x = -2/2
x =11 or x = -1
since side cannot be negative
so x = 11
there fore sides of triangle are
x-3 = 11-3=8
x+4=11+4=15
x+6=11+6=17
