Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c

By Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²

a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64

a² - 2a - 15 = 0

a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0

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

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

a = -3 or a = 5

Because a is a side length and is a positive number

a = 5

Find the slope of the line between (1,5)and (3,9)
Volgvan
We can use the points in either order and you will still get the same slope. I usually solve in order that is given. So the first coordinates I label (x1,y1) and the second is (x2,y2).

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(9-5)/(3-1)=4/2=2

Slope is 2.
