The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 19 ft more than five times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 20 ft more than five times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.
+36916 It's a right triangle , so Pythagorean theorem applies
s = short leg
l = long leg = 5s + 19
h= hypotenuse= 5s +20
s^2 + (5s+19)^2 = (5s+20)^2 solve for s then 5s + 19 = other leg and 5s+20 = hypot
can you take it frome here?
