<PRE><B>Question 170548</B>
The length of one leg of a right triangle is 18 ft. The length of the hypotenuse is 6ft longer than the other leg. Find the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg.

one leg = 18 ft

hypotenuse = x + 6 ft

the other leg = x

Here is the equation:

x^2 + (18)^2 = (x + 6)^2

Can you take it from here?
