Answer:
25 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the hypotenuse is x cm long the 2 legs are x-5 and x-10 cm long.
So by the Pythagoras theorem:
x^2 = (x - 5)^2 + (x - 10)^2
x^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + x^2 - 20x + 100
x^2 - 30x + 125 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 25) = 0
x = 5, 25
We can discard x = 5 because that would make the lengths of the legs negative so the hypotenuse = 25 cm long.

Solution:
It is given that two triangles Δ ABC and Δ X Y Z are similar by Side -Side - Side(SSS) Similarity theorem.
So, the Statement which is given, that is →→∠B ≅ ∠Y and ∠B ≅ ∠Z, is inadequate for similarity criterion by SSS, as these statement are about angles of Triangles,not sides, which can't be true.
So, if the two triangles are Similar by SSS criterion , then the appropriate mathematical statement must be,

Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 8(x + 5) = 6 - 3x
Remember to follow PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, distribute -8 to all terms within the parenthesis
-8(x + 5) = (-8)(x) + (-8)(5) = -8x - 40
5x - 8x - 40 = 6 - 3x
Isolate the variable (x). Add 3x & 40 to both sides
5x - 8x (+3x) - 40 (+40) = 6 (+40) - 3x (+3x)
5x - 8x + 3x = 6 + 40
Simplify. Combine like terms
(5x - 8x + 3x) = (6 + 40)
0 = 46 ; False 0 ≠ 46 ∴ no solution is your answer
