Question

The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 cm and its hypotenuse is 26 cm. the other two sides of the triangle are:

Answer 1

AB+BC+AC = 60cm
Hypotenuse of right triangle (AC)² = 26cm
(AC)² = 26
AC = ✓26 = 5.09 Cm
we know that,
(AB)²+(BC)² = (AC)²......(1)
AB+ BC + 5 = 60
AB+ BC= 60-5
AB+BC = 55
AB = 55-BC.......(2)
put in,
(AB)²+(BC)² = (AC)²
(55-BC)²+BC = (5)²
