In a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 6 cm longer than the shortest side. The third side is the average of the other two. How can I know what the other two are?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "c = hyp = a + 6
\n" ); document.write( "b = (a + a+6)/2 = a+3
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Not sure what you mean by the \"other two\"
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2+%2B+%28a%2B3%29%5E2+=+%28a%2B6%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2a%5E2+%2B+6a+%2B+9+=+a%5E2+%2B+12a+%2B+36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2+-+6a+-+27+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "(a - 9)*(a + 3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "a = 9 (Ignore a = -3)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Sides are:
\n" ); document.write( "9, 12, 15
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
