Algebra.Com's Answer #497219 by josgarithmetic(39618)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This has four different possible solutions. Try using (0,1) and (0,6) to be the segment of one of the legs. Another point may be (a, 6), for \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The lengths of the two legs are:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5, and a.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The length of the hypotenuse is:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can we find a without using the hypotenuse? \n" ); document.write( "Area formula gives \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That one possible point is therefore, (4, 6). \n" ); document.write( " |
