In a triangle f, the shorter leg is 1 less than one-third of the longer leg while the hypotenuse is 1 more then the longer leg.
Find the measures of the legs and the hypotenuse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ = , (x is the shorter leg measure)
- + + = , -----> multiply by 9 both sides ----->
+ = ,
= ,
x = 24.
Check that the solution is correct.
