The lengths of the other two sides of the right triangle are 12 and 13

<h3>Pythagorean theorem </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the lengths of the other sides of the triangle

From the given information,

The other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers

Thus,

If the length of the other side is x

Then,

The hypotenuse will be x + 1

By the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that

(x+1)² = x² + 5²

(x+1)(x+1) = x² + 25

x² + x + x + 1 = x² + 25

x² - x² + x + x = 25 - 1

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

∴ The other leg of the right triangle is 12

Hypotenuse = x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

Hence, the lengths of the other two sides are 12 and 13

anzhelika [568]
P(s) = 45/125 = 0.360
P(A&C) = 38/125 = 0.304
Probability that one is not in Arts and Crafts = 1- P(A&C) = 1-0.304 = 0.696

Therefore,
Probability that the child selected is in swimming when its known they didn't sign for Arts and craft = Probability they signed for swimming * Probability that they didn't sign for Arts and Crafts = 0.360*0.696 = 0.25056
