One of the legs of a right triangle is twice as long as the other, and the perimeter of the triangle
is 28. Find the lengths of all three sides, to three decimal places.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     = 28

     = 28

     = 28

    x =  = 5.348 (rounded)


ANSWER.  The sides are x= 5.348,  2x = 2*5.348 = 10.695,   =  = 11.957.


CHECK.  5.348 + 10.695 + 11.957 = 28.000.   ! correct !

Solved.
