Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

now, we know one of them is 7 more than the other, so hmmm let's say "b" is 7 more than "a", so b = a + 7

the difference of their squares is 161, alrite

\bf a^2-b^2=161\qquad b=a+7\implies a^2-(a+7)^2=161
\\\\\\
a^2-(a^2+14a+49)=161\implies \underline{a^2-a^2}-14a-49=161
\\\\\\
-14a-49=161\implies -49-161=14a\implies -210=14a
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-210}{14}=a

and surey you know how much that is

now, what's "b"? well, b = a + 7

Which of the following measurements could be the side lengths of a right triangle?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

C. 10in 24in 26in

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Scalene Triangle

Side a = 24

Side b = 10

Side c = 26

Angle ∠A = 67.38° = 67°22'48" = 1.17601 rad

Angle ∠B = 22.62° = 22°37'12" = 0.39479 rad

Angle ∠C = 90° = 1.5708 rad = π/2

Area = 120

Perimeter p = 60

Semiperimeter s = 30

Height ha = 10  

Height hb = 24

Height hc = 9.23077

Median ma = 15.6205  

Median mb = 24.5153

Median mc = 13
