let one of the side be x
And the other be x+5 by Pythagoras therom
(25)2 = x2 + (x+5)2 625 = 2x2+10x+25 2x2+10x – 600=0 x2+ 5x – 300=0 x2+ 20x – 15x – 300=0 x(x+20) –15(x+20)=0
(x+20) (x –15)=0
∴ x=15, x = –20 But x cannot be negative
Hence one side = x = 15 other side = x + 5 =15 + 5 = 20
Thus the other sides of the triangle are 15, 20.
