Answer:
Let the length of the shortest side be x meters. Then,
Hypotenuse = ( 2x + 1) meters, Third side = (x + 7) meters. The hypotenuse² = sum of the square of the remaining two sides
⇒ ( 2x + 1)² = x² + ( x + 7)²
⇒ 4x² + 4x + 1 = 2x² +14x +49
⇒ 2x² – 10x – 48 = 0
⇒ x² – 5x – 24 = 0
⇒ x² – 8x + 3x – 24 = 0
⇒x (x – 8) + 3 ( x- 8) = 0
⇒x = 8, -3
So, ⇒x = 8
Hence the length of sides of the grassy land is 8m, 17m, 15m.
