Step-by-step explanation:
8,15,17
Let the hypotenuse of the triangle be xcm
Let the base of the triangle be ycm
Let the altitude of the triangle be zcm
According to the given equation
x=y+2 and x=2z+1
y=x−2 and z=

x−1

−17x−x+17=0
⇒x(x−17)−1(x−17)=0
⇒(x−1)(x−17)=0
x=1 or x=17
If x=1 then y=1−2=−1 that is not possible
So x=17
y=17−2=15
z=

17−1
=8
∴ Length of sides of triangle are 17cm,15cm,8cm
