Answer:

Length = 8 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be represented by the formula P = 2w + 2l, where w is the width and l is the length.

Given what we're told, we can represent the length for this problem using the equation l = w + 3

Thus, to find the length, we plug in everything we know:

26 = 2(w +3) + 2w

26 = 2w + 6 + 2w

26 = 4w + 6

20 = 4w

5 = w

l = 5 + 3 = 8

Here is my answer:

If one leg is x.

Then the other legs need to be longer than 7, so it is (x + 7)

x² + (x +7)² = 13²

x² + (x +7)² = 169

So I believe that is the equation.

From the Pythagorean triple of 5, 12, 13, one should and would know that if the equation above is solved, x = 5.
