Question

the hypotenuse of right angle triangle is 25 CM at out of the remaining 2 sides one is longer than other by 5cm.find the lenght of other sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shortest side = 15 cm

Longer side = 20 cm

Answer 2

Let one side is x cm

Then other side is (x+5) cm

x^2 + (x+5)^2 = (25)^2

x^2 + x^2 +10x + 25 = 625

2x^2 + 10x - 600 = 0

x^2 + 5x - 300 = 0

x^2 + 20x - 15x - 300 = 0

x(x+20) - 15(x+20) = 0

(x+20) (x-15) = 0

x = -20 x = 15

Side cannot be negative

So, therefore one side is 15cm

other side is (x+5) = (15+5) = 20cm
