Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.

Question 1132387: How many liters of a 10% solution should be mixed with 60L of 25% solution to get 15% solution? = one click in Excel = 120. ANSWER. 120 liters of the 10% solution.
In this question, we have to use the intersecting chord theorem, and the formula which is
In the given circle, values of AP, CP and DP are 12m, 6m and 5m respectively .
Substituting the values in the formula, we will get
Dividing both sides by 5
