Pythagorean theorem is for right triangles, where a, b, and c are lengths of the triangle: a²+b²=c²

Does 3²+15²=17²? If the answer is yes, it's a right triangle
How about 15²+17²=3²? Nope. Not a right triangle.
How about 3²+17²=15²? Nope.

Two bikers, Derek and Tina, start riding from the same location. Derek rides due west for x miles. Tina goes due south and cover

kirza4 [7]

Answer: Tina rides 4 miles and Derek rides 3 miles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance covered by Derek in west direction be x

Distance covered by Tina in south direction be x+1

Distance between the bikers when they both stop is x+2

Since it forms right triangle, so we will apply "Pythagorus theorem":

$H^2=P^2+B^2\\\\(x+2)^2=x^2+(x+1)^2\\\\x^2+4x+4=x^2+x^2+1+2x\\\\x^2+4x+4=2x^2+2x+1\\\\x^2-2x^2+4x-2x+4-1=0\\\\-x^2+2x+3=0\\\\x^2-2x-3=0\\\\x^2-3x+x-3=0\\\\x(x-3)+1(x-3)=0\\\\(x+1)(x-3)=0\\\\x=-1,3$
