Question

The hypotenuse of L is 10 cm long. The other two sides differ by 3 cm. What are the lengths of other two sides.​

Answer 1

Answer:

one side of triangle is 8cm and another side of the triangle is 6cm

Answer 2

(AB)^2+(BC)^2=(AC)^2

AB=x;BC=y

x-y=3

x=3+y

(3-y)^2+(y)^2= (10)^2

9-6y+(y)^2=100

y^2-6y-91=0

y^2-13y+7y-91=0

y(y-13)+7(y-13)=0

y=13 or y=-7

AB=16

BC=13
