The length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle exceeds the length of the base by 2cm and exceeds twice the length of the altitude by 1cm. Find the length of each side of the triangle

a = 8;  b = 15;  c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

c = b + 2  and c = 2a + 1

b = c − 2 and a =  

c² = b² + a²  

c = 1 or c = 17

If c = 1 then b = 1 - 2 = -1, that's not possible

So x = 17

b = 17 - 2 = 15

a =

Length sides of the triangle are 17 cm, 15 cm and 8 cm.

I saw some of this on a site but I want to make sure its correct so we're gonna apply the pythagorean theory and see if its correct.

This shows that this is correct.

Hope this helped! Again, some of this was from a site, not from me.
