Question

a right triangle has legs of length 3x m and 4x m and hypotenuse of length 75 m. find the lengths of the legs of the triangle

Answer 1

It is a 3-4-5 right triangle

leg1 := 3x, leg2:=4x, hypotenuse:=5x

given hypotenuse = 75m
=> 5x=75
So, x= 75÷5 = 15
Therefore, leg1 = 3(15) = 45m.
leg2= 4(15) = 60m.
