Question

the hypentuse of right triangle is 13m long if they pass of the triangle is 7m more than other sides find the side of the triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the small side be x

by pythagoras theorem

x²+(x+7)²=13²

2x²+14x+49=169

2x²+14x-120=0 (divide both sides by 2)

x²+7x-60=0

you can the factorize it to get values for x

(x-5)(x+12)=0

x=5,-12

since length can't be negative

x=5

length of the other side= x+7 = 12
