Question

the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6m more than the twice of the shortest side. if the third side is 2m less than the hypotenuse​

Answer 1

Answer:

the hypotenuse is equal to 26 and the shortest side is equal to 10 and the third side is equal to 24

hope it help you

please comment me if I am correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the length of the shortest side bex meters.

Then, hypotenuse= (2x + 6) metres

And the third side (2x + 6 – 2) metre

(2x + 4) metres

By Pythagoras theorem, we have

(2x + 6)* = x + (2 x + 4)?

= x - 8x - 20 = 0

x- 10x - 2x - 20 = 0

= (x - 10)(x+2) = 0

=x= 10 or x= -2
