For rigt triangle with legs legnth a and b and hypotnuse legnth c
a^2+b^2=c^2
we are given
larger leg is 3 longer than smaller leg
hypotnuse is 6 longer than smaller
find smaller
ok so
first pick a smaller leg
lets say b is smaller
longer leg is 3 more than shorter leg
a is 3 more than b
a=3+b
and
hypontuse is 6 more than shorter
c=6+b
sub 3+b for a and 6+b for c in oroiginal equation'
a^2+b^2=c^2
(3+b)^2+b^2=(6+b)^2
9+6b+b^2+b^2=36+12b+b^2
2b^2+6b^2+9=b^2+12b+36
minus (b^2+12b+36) from both sides
b^2-6b-27=0
factor
(b-9)(b+3)=0
set equal to zero
b-9=0
b=9
b+3=0
b=-3
fasle, legnths cannot be negative
answer is shorter side=9 cm
The perimeter of the triangle would be B)18. the triangle's sides are equal and you can tell by the single lines on each side symbolizing that all the sides are equal. To find perimeter, you have to add all sides together, and in this case it is 6. When 6 is added three times, it equals 18, which is the answer.
