Step-by-step explanation:

AC= 8x-14

AC+14=8x

x=(AC+14)÷8

EC=2x+11

EC-11=2x

x=(EC-11)÷2

Pythagorean triples are given by the formulas x2 - y2, 2xy, and x2 + y2. Use the formulas for the Pythagorean triples to prove w

Let $k$ be an integer. Suppose there is a triangle with legs of length 16 and $2k+1$ . Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse should be

$\sqrt{16^2+(2k+1)^2}=\sqrt{4k^2+4k+257}$

The formulas for Pythagorean triples say that if the legs are integers, then so must be the hypotenuse, because if $x=16$ and $y=2k+1$ are integers, then so are $x^2-y^2$ , $2xy$ , and $x^2+y^2$ .

However, $4k^2+4k+257$ is not a perfect square trinomial, which means for any integer $k$ , the length of the hypotenuse is not an integer, so such a triangle doesn't exist.
