The shortest side of a right triangle measures 7 m. the lengths of the other two sides are consecutive integers - the hypotenuse being the longer of the two. find the lengths of the other two sides.

If the lengths of the other two sides are consecutive integers, then the second leg is n and the hypotenuse is n+1. By the Pythagorean theorem:

and

n+1=25.

the unknown sides have lengths 24 and 25.

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
