The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.
20 units
It depends on whether the leg of length 19 is the hypotenuse or not. If it is then the length of the other leg = sqrt(192 - 122) = sqrt(217) = 14.731 units If not, then the length of the other leg (which is the hypotenuse) = sqrt(192 + 122) = sqrt(505) = 22.472 units.
Use the rule that the shortest leg has length p, the other leg has length 2p and the hypotenuse has length p*sqrt(3) Where sqrt(number) if the square root of the number.
The length of the other leg is 60.62 feet.
