Question 1036021: A right angle triangle has a side b=8cm and the perimeter is 37cm, what is the length of sides c and a.

b=8
c+a=29
c^2=a^2+64
c=29-a
841-58a+a^2=a^2+64; a^2 cancel
-58a=-777
a=13.4
c=15.6
64+13.4^2 should equal 15.6^2
64+179.56=243.36; to rounding error, this is correct (use three places and it is within 1//1000.
