For rigt triangle with legs legnth a and b and hypotnuse legnth c
a^2+b^2=c^2
we are given
larger leg is 3 longer than smaller leg
hypotnuse is 6 longer than smaller
find smaller
ok so
first pick a smaller leg
lets say b is smaller
longer leg is 3 more than shorter leg
a is 3 more than b
a=3+b
and
hypontuse is 6 more than shorter
c=6+b
sub 3+b for a and 6+b for c in oroiginal equation'
a^2+b^2=c^2
(3+b)^2+b^2=(6+b)^2
9+6b+b^2+b^2=36+12b+b^2
2b^2+6b^2+9=b^2+12b+36
minus (b^2+12b+36) from both sides
b^2-6b-27=0
factor
(b-9)(b+3)=0
set equal to zero
b-9=0
b=9
b+3=0
b=-3
fasle, legnths cannot be negative
answer is shorter side=9 cm

Answer:
Free press is essential since the government does not control the press.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, the Untied States has free press so authors can spread information (whether for good or evil) while other countries like China control their press and access to press outside of their country, making it much harder for citizens to see the world from another perspective rather than what the government is willing to tell them.
Since the United States is a democracy, it is important to allow their citizens to have the right to speech and the press if people want to form opinions of their own.
