Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let base be x and altitude be x+17

by pythogoras theorem (x)square + (x+17)square = 17 square

and our final result x has two numbers 7 and -24

we will take +7 because sides of a triangles always be in positive

base = x= 7cm then altitude be x+17 = 7+17=24 cm

atq sum of base and altitude be 31 cm
