The right angles triangle has three sides including the hypotenuse which is opposite to the right angle.
If the hypotenuse - H
Then one side is - H - 2
Third side is 7 cm shorter then H-2
Therefore it’s H -2-7 = H -9
According to Pythagoras theorem
Square of hypotenuse = sum of the squares of the other 2 sides
H² = (H-9)² + (H-2)²
H² = H² -18H + 81 + H² -4H + 4
0 =H² -22H +85
This is a quadratic equation
0 = H² - 17H -5H +85
0 = H (H - 17) -5(H-17)
(H-17) (H-5) =0
H -17=0 or H-5=0
H could be 17 cm or 5 cm
If H =5 cm then
Side 1 -H-2 = 3 cm
And side 2 - H-9 = -4 cm
Since lengths cannot be negative values
H isn’t 5 cm
Therefore H =17 cm
1 side is H-2 = 15 cm
2nd side H -9 = 8 cm
Three sides are 17 cm, 15 cm and 8 cm

Let n be a natural number. Show that 3 | n3 −n
Vladimir [108]
Let n=1. Then n^3-n=1^3-1=0. By convention, every non-zero integer n divides 0, so 3\vert n^3-n.

Suppose this relation holds for n=k, i.e. 3\vert k^3-k. We then hope to show it must also hold for n=k+1.

You have

(k+1)^3-(k+1)=(k^3+3k^2+3k+1)-(k+1)=(k^3-k)+3(k^2+k)

We assumed that 3\vert k^3-k, and it's clear that 3\vert 3(k^2+k) because 3(k^2+k) is a multiple of 3. This means the remainder upon divides (k+1)^3-(k+1) must be 0, and therefore the relation holds for n=k+1. This proves the statement.
