On a right triangle one leg is two more than twice the other. The hypotenuse is one more than the longer leg. Find the sides.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let shorter leg be S
\n" ); document.write( "Then longer leg = 2S + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Hypotenuse = 2S + 2 + 1, or 2S + 3
\n" ); document.write( "We then get: \"S%5E2+%2B+%282S+%2B+2%29%5E2+=+%282S+%2B+3%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for S, the shorter leg
\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 to twice the value of S, and you get the longer leg
\n" ); document.write( "Add 3 to twice the value of S to get length of hypotenuse\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That's all! It's that simple....nothing complex. \n" ); document.write( "
