Step-by-step explanation:

h = 25cm \\ let \: b = x \: cm \\ according \: the \: question \\ p = x + 5 \: cm \\ pythagoras \: theorem \\  {h}^{2}  =  {b}^{2}  +  {p}^{2}  \\( 25) {}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  + (x + 5) {}^{2}  \\  625 =  {x}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  + 25 + 10x \\ 625 = 2 {x}^{2}  + 10x + 25 \\ 2 {x}^{2}  + 10x - 600 = 0 \\ divide \: by \: 2 \\   {x}^{2}  + 5x - 300 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  + (20 - 15)x - 300 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  + 20x - 15x - 300 = 0 \\ x(x + 20) - 15(x + 20) = 0 \\ (x + 20)(x - 15) = 0 \\ if \: x + 20 = 0 \\ x =  - 20(invalid) \\ if \: x - 15 = 0 \\ x = 15 \\ then \: b = x = 15 \: cm \\ p = x + 5 = 20 \: cm
