Answer:

Correct answer:  c = 29 m, a = 21 m  and b = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a = b + 1  longer leg a

c = b + 9 hypotenuse c

To solve this problem, we will use Pythagoras' theorem

c² = a² + b²

(b + 9)² = (b + 1)² + b²  

b² + 18 b + 81 = b² + 2 b + 1 + b²

2 b² - b² + 2 b - 18 b + 1 - 81 = 0

b² - 16 b - 80 = 0  we will factorize this equation

⇒ b² - 20 b + 4 b - 80 = b (b - 20) + 4 ( b - 20) = (b - 20) · (b + 4) = 0

(b - 20) · (b + 4) = 0 ⇒ b = 20  or b = - 4  false

we accepted b = 20 m

c = b + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29 m

c = 29 m

a = b + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21 m

a = 21 m
