Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6m more than twice of the shortest side. If the third side is 2 m., less than the hypotenuse, find the sides of the triangle.

Answer 1

let the shortest side of the triangle is x

according to the given situation

therefore the hypotenuse will be 6 + 2 x

and third side is equal to 2 - 6 +2 x
we know the sum of the triangle is 180
therefore, = x+6+2x +4+2x =180
= 10+5x=180
= x=170÷5
= ×=34
therefore ,shortest side is = 34 hypotenuse is = 74 and and third side =72
