Answer:
sides are 10m , 24 m , 26 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let shortest side be x
therefore hypotenuse = 6+(2x)
3rd side = hypotenuse-2 = (6+2x)-2 = 2x + 4
using Pythagoras theorem,
we get,
(x)² + (2x+4)² = (2x+6)²
=> x² + 4x² + 16x + 16 = 4x² + 36 + 24x
=>x² + 4x² + 16x + 16 - 4x² - 36 - 24x = 0
=> (x²+4x²-4x²) + (16x-24x) + (16-36) = 0
=> x² - 8x - 20 = 0
=> x² - (10-2)x -20 = 0
=> x² - 10x +2x -20 = 0
=> x(x-10) + 2(x-10) = 0
=> (x-10)(x+2)= 0
therefore
either (x-10) = 0 ......or.......(x+2) = 0
either x = 10 ..........or ........ x = -2
as x, here is side and hence cannot be negative
therefore x = 10
smallest side = 10m
hypoteneus = 2x + 6 = 2(10)+6 = 26m
3rd side = (2x+4) = 2(10)+4 = 24m
