Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
a + b = 27
=> a = 27 - b
ab = 50
So, (27 - b) x b = 50
27b - b^2 = 50
b^2 - 27b + 50 = 0
Solving, b = 25, 2
Hence,
Case 1: b = 25, a = 2
Case 2, b = 2, a = 25
No, you can't have a right triangle with the sides 48.5ft, 30ft, 32.5ft.
48.5 + 30 + 32.5 = 111 ft
Triangle's total sides: 180.
One side has to be equal to 90ft.
