Question

If the shortest leg for two right triangles is two-thirds the size of the of the shared hypotenuse then what is the length of the shortest leg?

Answer 1

the shortest leg=2*hypotenuse/3

hypotenuse^2=4*hypotenuse^2/9 + 5hypotenuse^2/9

the longest leg is V5/3* hypotenuse

Answer 2

That is a hard question
