The length of one leg of a right triangle is 3 feet more than the other leg. If the hypotenuse is 15 feet, find the length of each leg

9 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem. One of the most common Pythagorean triples is 3, 4, 5 with 3 and 4 the legs and 5 the hypoenuse. That will make 9, 12, 15 anotther trible because you are tripling the side lengths. 12-9=3 so this triangle works.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
