Question 494688: In a right angled triangle the length of the shortest side is unknown. The hypotenuse is 7cm more than double the length of the other side which is 3cm longer than the shortest side. Find the length of the hypotenuse. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):

I do not believe this is a valid triangle, as the sum of the two legs is less than the hypotenuse; this violates the triangle inequality theorem.
