Let the sides be x+10.5 and x:-

Using Pythagoras: (x+10.5)^2 +x^2 = 25.5^2

So: x^2 +21x +110.25 +x^2 = 650.25

Transposing terms: 2x^2 +21x -540 = 0

Using the quadratic equation formula gives x a positive value of 12

Perimeter: 12+(12+10.5)+25.5 = 60 cm

What are right triangle congruence theorem?

1.HyL Theorem (Hypotenuse-Leg) - if the hypotenuse and leg of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's hypotenuse and leg, then the triangles are congruent. 2.HyA (Hypotenuse-Angle) - if the hypotenuse and angle of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's hypotenuse and angle, then the triangles are congruent. 3.LL (Leg-Leg) if the 2 legs of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's 2 legs, then the triangles are congruent. 4.LA (Leg-Angle) if the angle and leg of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's angle and leg, then the triangles are congruent.
