Answer 1

Answer:

height of triangle=17 inches

base =?

height of hypotenuse =25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let triangle be triangle ABC

therefore:

AC²=AB²+BC²

25²=17²+x²

625=289+x²

625-289=x²

336=x²

x=42

we have taken AB as height(X)

and BC as base(X+17)

because base is 17 inches longer than height
