The shorter leg of a right triangle is 5 meters. The hypotenuse is 1 meter longer than the longer leg. Find the length of the longer leg.
The other leg is
meters.

Answers:

longer leg = 12 meters

hypotenuse = 13 meters

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say the triangle has sides a,b,c such that a < b < c

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for b

The longer leg is 12 meters in length.

c = b+1 = 12+1 = 13

The hypotenuse is 13 meters long.

We have a 5-12-13 right triangle.

step-by-step explanation:

divided 3/4 and 6

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
