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

Komok [63]

Answer:

  (-1, -1), (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming your function is the negative cube root of negative x, the two points listed above are on the curve. (The negatives cancel, so the function reduces to f(x) = ∛x.)

The various points relative to the curve are shown in the attachment.
