Answer:
15 cm and 20 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypotenuse of triangle = 25cm
Difference between lengths of other two sides = 5cm
Let second side (base) = x
third side – second side = 5
So we have,
third side (perpendicular)= 5 +x
We know ,
according to Pythagoras theorem, the square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of other two sides of triangle.
So (hypotenuse)² = (perpendicular)² + (base)²
(25)² = (5+x)² + (x)²
625 = 25 + x²+ 10x + x²
2x² + 10x +25 – 625 = 0
2x² + 10x – 600 = 0
x² + 5x – 300 = 0
x² – 15x + 20x – 300 = 0
x ( x–15) + 20 (x–15) = 0
(x– 15) (x+20) = 0
thus x= 15 , –20
as length cannot be negative
we take x= 15
and third side = 15+5 = 20
So required sides are 15cm and 20cm
