10cm

c Hypotenuse

26

cm

P Perimeter

60

cm

Using the formulas

P=a+b+a2+b2

c=a2+b2

There are 2 solutions fora

a=1

22P﹣P2+2Pc+c2+2c2﹣2c﹣P2+2Pc+c2=1

2·2·60·﹣602+2·60·26+262+2·262﹣2·26·﹣602+2·60·26+262=24cm

a=1

22c2﹣2P﹣P2+2Pc+c2+2c﹣P2+2Pc+c2=1

2·2·262﹣2·60·﹣602+2·60·26+262+2·26·﹣602+2·60·26+262=10cm
