Answer 1

Answer:

x=17cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the question is a right angled triangle.

Therefore, by applying pythagoras theorem in the triangle, we get

x^2=(x-2)^2 + 8^2

=>x^2=x^2-4x+4 + 64

=>x^2-x^2=(-4x)+68

=>0=68-4x

=>4x=68

=>x=17

Therefore the three sides in the triangle are 17cm, 15cm and 8cm.
