Question

The base of a right triangle is 2 cm shorter than the hypotenuse and 9 cm longer than the third side. Find the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer

base = 62.333

hypotenuse = 64.333

third side= 53.333

Step-by-step explanation:

let base = x

h= x +2

c=x+9

using angle sum property of triangle

x+x+2+x-9=180

3x-7=180

3x=187

x= 187/3 = 62.333
