Question

A toy manufacturer needs a piece of plastic in the shape of a right triangle with the longer leg 3 cm more than the shorter leg and the hypotenuse 6 cm more than the shorter leg. How long should the sides of the triangle​ be?

Answer 1

Short side: 9 cm
Long side: 12 cm

Hypotenuse: 15 cm

Explanation:

9 squared= 81

12 squared= 144

144+81= 225

square root 0f 225= 15

9+6= 15

All sides follow the rules.
