Question 149772: c=19 b=x a=3x find the length of the sides a and b on following triangle

You haven't said so in your problem description but the only way to get an answer is to assume that it is a right triangle with the hypotenuse, c = 19 and the other two legs are x and 3x each.
So, proceeding on this assumption, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of x and, thus, the lengths of sides a and b.
Substitute c = 19, a = x, and b = 3x.
Simplify and solve for x.
Divide both sides by 10.
Take the square root of both sides.
Side a = 6.
side b = 3(6) = 18.
