Answer:

x = 10 and y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle = sum of the 3 sides of the triangle

:. x + y + 26 = 60

x + y = 60 - 26

x + y = 34 ---- (1)

From Pythagoras theorem,

x² + y² = 26²

x² + y² = 676 ---- (2)

From equation (1): y = 34 - x

:. x² + (34 - x)² = 676

x² + 1,156 - 68x + x² = 676

x² + x² - 68x + 1,156 - 676 = 0

2x² - 68x + 480 = 0

x² - 34x + 240 = 0

(x² - 24x) - (10x + 240) = 0

x(x - 24) -10(x - 24) = 0

(x - 24)(x - 10) = 0

x = 24 or 10

y = 34 - x

y = 34 - 10 = 24

:. x = 10 and y = 24
