PLEASE HELP!!
The shortest side of a right-angled triangle is 6cm.
The triangle has a perimeter of 24cm and an area of 24cm squared.
Find the lengths of the other two sides (x and y).​

Sagot :

Answer:

8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Our first step is to set x as the other side length, and y as the hypotenuse. We get that 6 + x + y = 24, and x + y = 18. The area gives us that 6x = 24(2) = 48. We then divide both sides by 6 and we get x = 8. We have x = 8 so we plug that into the equation x + y = 18 and we get that y = 10. So the other side lengths are 8 and 10.
