Question 261232: the hypotneuse of a triangle is 26cm. the other two sides equal 34cm. find the two sides PLEASE HELP THANK YOU Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let C = 26, and A + B = 34
we know some Pythagorean triples. One of them is 5 - 12 - 13. Double these numbers and we get
10 -24 - 26. NOtice here that hypotenuse is 36 and the sum of the other angles is 34.
The other two sides are 10 and 24.
