Interesting question.  Let the 2 unknown sides be x and x+1.
Then (11 m)^2 + x^2    = sum of the squares of the 2 shortest sides
                                     = (x+1)^2


121 + x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1.  Then 121 = 2x + 1, and 2x = 120, or x = 60.

Then the hyp. has length 60+1= 61.

We must check these results.  Using the Pyth. Thm. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2),

11^2 + 60^2 = 61^2
121 + 3600 =  3721     This is true, so our answers are correct.

The longer side is 60 and the hyp. has length 61.

Two adjacent angles form a complementary relationship. One angle is twelve more than twice the other angle. Draw a picture to re
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The angles are 26 and 64

Step-by-step explanation:

When two angles are complementary, what this means is that the add up to 90 degrees

Now, let’s say one of the angles is x, the other angle is 12 more than twice it; mathematically that would be 2x + 12

Since they add up to be 90, we have

x + 2x + 12 = 90

3x + 12 = 90

3x = 90-12

3x = 78

x = 78/3

x = 26

The other angle is 2x + 12 = 2(26) + 12 = 52 + 12 = 64
