The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is 13 cm andthe difference between the other two sides is 7cm.​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

Then according to the problem,

x

2

+(x+7)

2

=13

2

or, 2X

2

+14x−120=0

or, x

2

+7x−60=0

or, x

2

+12x−5x−60=0

or, (x−5)(x+12)=0

or, x=5. [ SINCE x

=−12]

So the other sides are 5 cm and 5+7=12 cm
