Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is twice the length of one of its legs. The length of the other leg is three feet. Find the lengths of the three sides of the triangle. Enter an exact answer. Do not type your answers as fractions or decimals

Answer 1

Answer:

sides are √3 ft,2√3 ft,3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let one leg=x

length of hypotenuse=2x

third side=3 ft

(2x)²=x²+3²

4x²-x²=9

3x²=9

x²=9/3=3

x=√3 ft

hypotenuse=2√3 ft

Answer 2

Answer:

One leg: 3

So, the hypo: 2*3 = 6

And the third is according to the formula for right angle triangles: a^2 + b^ = c^2

So: √9+36= c

6.7 to get an exact number round it: 7
