The perimeter of Triangle=70units
The hypotenous of Triangle=29 units
The other two sides be X and Y
Using, pathagoras theorem,
⟹Hypotenus²=Perpendicular²+base²
⟹29²=X²+Y²-------(1)
⟹70=X+Y+29
⟹70-29=X+Y
⟹41=X+Y---------(2)
⟹Y=41-X
Using, substituting method here
Now, putting the value of Y=41-X in EQ 1
⟹29²=X²+Y²
⟹29²=X²+(41-X)²
⟹841=X²+1681-82X+X²
⟹841=1681-82X+2X²
⟹2X²-82X+840=0
- Dividing by 2 on both sides
⟹X²-41X+420=0
- Splitting the middle term here
⟹X²-20X-21X+420=0
⟹X(X-20)-21(X-20)=0
⟹(X-21)(X-20)=0
Therefore, X-21=0 X=21 X-20=0 X=20
Putting the value of X=21 in EQ 2
⟹41=X+Y
⟹41=21+Y
⟹Y=41-21
⟹Y=20
Hence,
The other two sides are 21units and 20units
