Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13.0, and one leg is 9.0 units shorter than the other. Find the dimensions of the figure

Answer 1

13^2=x^2 + (x-9)^2

13^2-9^2= 2x^2-18x

88÷2=x^2-9x

44=x^2-9x

please find x because i dont know how to

and substitute x in x and x-9 to get the length of the legs
