Question

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 7 feet longer than either of its legs. Find the exact length of each side.

Answer 1

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = b
c = a+7 = b+7
a^2 + a^2 = (a+7)^2

Answer 2

x = hypotenuse
x-7 = side 1 and 2
Pythagorean theorem
2(x-7)^2 -x^2 = 0

Answer 3

i think this is pretty easy to be asked for on the site.

Answer 4

hypo - leg = 7
√2x - x = 7
=> x = 16.9
=> hypo = 16.9√2 = 23.9
