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

Answer is
When it's powered numbers, remember to choose the one with the largest power. For example,
And
Choose 10, same goes to y, where you choose 7 not 4 since 7 is larger.

Answer:
54 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to divide the shape into simpler shapes such as rectangles and triangles that you can easily find the area of. Then, add those areas together. I divided it into one rectangle and three triangles.
Rectangle 1: length=7 width=6 6(7)=42
Triangle 1: base=6 height=2 1/2(6)2=6
Triangle 2: base=3 height=2 1/2(3)2=3
Triangle 3: base=6 height=1 1/2(6)1=3
Area= R1+T1+T2+T3= 42+6+3+3= 54 units squared
