Long piece = 5+ 2•short piece
Long piece +short piece=17

Let short piece be x and long piece y

Rewrite the relations given
y= 5+2• x
y+x=17 so y=17- x

5+2•x=17-x
2x+x=17-5
3x=12
X=12/3=4 (short piece) feet
y=17-4=13 (long piece) feet

Can a right triangle be formed using these squares
Ilya [14]

Yes. The two smaller squares have a sum of 169 which is the value of the larger square.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

25 + 144 = 169

It can be done. Notice the figure below shows you how to arrange the squares to give the answer of a^2 + b^2 = c^2
