2x + y = 8
x - y = 10
--------------add
3x = 18
x = 6
x - y = 10
6 - y = 10
-y = 10 - 6
-y = 4
y = -4
solution is : (6,-4)
Let the length of unknown side be x
So, hypotenuse = 2x + 1
By pythagorean theorem ie , a² = b² + c²
(2x + 1)² = x² + 15²
4x² + 1 + 4x = x² + 225
3x² + 4x -224
(3x +28)(x-8)
x = -9.33 , 8
Since, length can't be negative
x = 8
∴Unknown side length = 8 m
Length of hypotenuse = 2 x 8 + 1 = 17 m
Hope it helps now.
