Answer» The perimeter of Triangle=70units The hypotenous of Triangle=29 units The other two sides be X and Y Using, pathagoras theorem, ⟹Hypotenus²=Perpendicular²+base² ⟹29²=X²+Y²-------(1) ⟹70=X+Y+29 ⟹70-29=X+Y ⟹41=X+Y---------(2) ⟹Y=41-X Using, substituting method here Now, putting the value of Y=41-X in EQ 1 ⟹29²=X²+Y² ⟹29²=X²+(41-X)² ⟹841=X²+1681-82X+X² ⟹841=1681-82X+2X² ⟹2X²-82X+840=0
⟹X²-41X+420=0
⟹X²-20X-21X+420=0 ⟹X(X-20)-21(X-20)=0 ⟹(X-21)(X-20)=0 Therefore, X-21=0 X=21 X-20=0 X=20 Putting the value of X=21 in EQ 2 ⟹41=X+Y ⟹41=21+Y ⟹Y=41-21 ⟹Y=20 Hence, The other two sides are 21units and 20units |
