Answer:

5 ; 12 ; 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Shorter leg = x

Other leg = x + 7

Hypotenus = x + 8

Recall:

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

(x+8)² = x² + (x+7)²

x² + 16x + 64 = x² + x² + 14x + 49

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) +3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 ; x = - 3

(x - 5) = 0 ; x = 5

Side can't be negative ;

Hence,

x = shorter side = 5

Other side = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12

Hypotenus = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

Plz help me schools basically here for me
nevsk [136]

Here's what i did:

I broke down the fraction entirely.

3 / 5 = 6 / 10

divide 6 by two and divide 18 by two. This makes 3 / 10 = 9.

divide 3 by three and 9 by three, making 1 / 10 = 3.

if you need 7 / 10 of the number (30) then do 3*7.

The answer is 21.
