the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 2 units longer than the shorter leg. find the measures of the side if the longer leg exceeds the other leg by 2 units.
There is no solution. In a right triangle the hypotenuse should be greater than the longer leg. In the above conditions, the hypotenuse is equal to the longer leg.
