Question 989080: The three sides of a right angled triangle are x cm, (x + 17) and (x + 18). Form a quadratic equation in x and solve to find the length of the hypotenuse, the longest side.
PS. A triangle was given in the problem but I cannot draw it here, the hypotenuse side was given as (x + 18) Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The three sides of a right angled triangle are x cm, (x + 17) and (x + 18). Form a quadratic equation in x and solve to find the length of the hypotenuse, the longest side.
======================
you can solve for x
