Question

the altitude of a right triangle is 7cm less than its base. if the hypotenuse is 13cm ,find the other two sides ​

Answer 1

base=x

altitude=x-7

hypotenuse=13

therefore

13^2 = x^2 + (x-7)^2

169=x^2 + x^2 + 49

169-49=x^2/x^2

x=120cm

120-7=113cm

so base=120cm

and the altitude=113cm
