Question

One side of a triangle is 2cm shorter than the hypotenuse and 7cm longer than the third side. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let side length of triangle be X

Then other side = 7+X

Hypotaneous = X+2

Now we know phytogorean triplet

H²=b²+p²

So

(X+2)²=( 7+X)²+X²

So X²+4=49+X²+X²

X²-2X²=49-4

-X²=45

X²=-45
