Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of Sides = 36 cm,

[math]Base + Perpendicular + Hypotenuse = 36[/math]

Simplifies to,

[math]b + p = 21 [Eqn 1][/math]

For a right triangle,

[math]Base^2 + Perpendicular ^2 = Hypotenuse ^2[/math]

[math]b^2 + p^2 = 15^2 [Eqn 2][/math]

Substitute Eqn 1 in 2,

[math](21 - p)^2 + p^2 = 225[/math]

[math]441 + 2p^2 - 42p = 225[/math]

Reducing it,

[math]p^2 - 21p + 108 = 0[/math]

Solving it gives,

[math]Hence, p = 12 [/math]or[math] 9[/math]

The solution set for the other two sides is [math]{(12,9),(9,12)}[/math]

The difference is thus 3 cms.
