Answer: the sides are 21 and 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse is 29
Therefore, the sum of the other two sides is 70-29 = 41
Let the two sides be X, 41-X
Using Pythagorean’s theorem,
(X)² + (41-X)² = (29)²
=> X² + X² + 1681 - 82X = 841
=> 2X² - 82X + 840 = 0
=> (2X-40)(X-21) = 0
=> X = 20, 21
Therefore the sides are 20, 21 and the hypotenuse is 29
