Answer:

Hypotenuse: 41 meters, Long leg: 40 meters, Short leg: 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following information about the lengths of the right triangle:

Hypotenuse

3\cdot x + 14

Long leg

3\cdot x + 13

Short leg

x

By the Pythagoric Theorem, we have the following expression:

(3\cdot x + 14)^{2} = x^{2} + (3\cdot x + 13)^{2} (1)

9\cdot x^{2}+84\cdot x + 196 = x^{2} + 9\cdot x^{2} + 78\cdot x + 169

9\cdot x^{2} + 84\cdot x + 196 = 10\cdot x^{2} + 78\cdot x +169

x^{2} -6\cdot x -27 = 0

(x-9)\cdot (x+3) = 0

As length is a positive variable by nature, then the only possible solution is x = 9. Lastly, the side lengths of the right triangle are:

Hypotenuse: 41 meters, Long leg: 40 meters, Short leg: 9 meters.

PICTURE PLEASE HELP.

By pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

We can find that PL is 12.65

and then by altitude theorem

MA*LA=PA^2

we can find the value of MA

12MA=16

MA=1.33

then by the pythagorean theorem

we can use to find PM

MA^2+PA^2=PM^2

so PM=4.22

then to find the are you multiply length by width

PM*PL

12.65*4.22

So the area is 53.38
