The length of the longer leg of a right
triangle is 4 cm more than twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 6 cm more than twice the
length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

$the \: sides \: are : \\s = 10 \\ l = 42 \\ h = 26$

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: longer \: side \: be :l \\ let \: the \: shorter \: side \: be : s \\ let \: the \: hypotenuse \: be : h \\ if \: l = 2s + 4 \\ if \: h = 2s + 6 \\ s = 10 \: or \: s = - 2 \\ \\s = 10 \\ l = 42 \\ h = 26$
