Answer:

The lengths are

8 + 8[root]3 , 12 + 8[root]3 and 20 + 8[root]3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side against the barn be xft

We were told that the adjacent side is 4ft more than the side against the barn. This means it has a length of (x + 4)ft.

Lastly, we are told that the hypotenuse is 8ft longer than the side along the barn I.e (x + 4 + 8)ft = ( x + 12)ft.

Since the three lengths form a triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the square of the adjacent side plus the square of the opposite side. This is the pythagoras' theorem.

Mathematically, this can be written as follows:

(x + 12)^2 = x^2 + (x + 4)^2

This yields x^2 + 24x + 144 = x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16

x^2 + 24x + 144 = 2x^2 + 8x + 16

Rearranging this will yield:

x^2 - 16x - 128 = 0

Using the quadratic formula yields the following values for x :

8 - 8[root]3 and 8 + 8[root 3]

Since the first is negative, we discard it and the only correct value of x is 8 + 8[root]3

Now the other length is 12 + 8[root]3 and 20 + 8[root]3.

Try making a grid like this. Apologies for the terrible drawing and handwriting. It represents all possible results of rolling two dice and summing their values. The blue column and yellow row represent the values of each die, and the green numbers reptesent their sums.
First, you can see that there are 36 possible values. Second, it's easy to see how many results are greater than 9, since they're all in one corner. And last, you can see just how many are even and how many are odd. Remember to reduce your fractions in the end.
