Question

A right triangles has hypotenuse of length q cm and one side of length p cm. If (q-p) = 2expess the length of third side of right triangle in term of q

Answer 1

let the length of the the third side be r

by Pythagoras theorem

q²=p²+r²

r²=q²-p²

=(q-p)(q+p)

=2(p+q)

=2(q-2+q)

=2(2q-2)

=4q-4

Answer 2
