Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 5cm. One leg of the right triangle is 3 longer than the other. What is the length of each leg????

Answer 1

And What is the perimeter of this triangle ?

Answer 2

5^2 = 9 x^ + x^2
25= 10 x^2
x^= 2.5
x = +- sqrt(2.5)= +-1.6
because it is about dimesions
so neglect the negative value
x = 1.6 cm
3x= 4.8 cm

Answer 3

5^2 = 9 x^2 + x^2
25= 10 x^2
x^= 2.5
x = +- sqrt(2.5)= +-1.6
because it is about dimesions
so neglect the negative value
x = 1.6 cm
3x= 4.8 cm
