One leg of a right triangle is 5 inches longer than the other leg. if the length of the hypotenuse is 25 inches, find the length of each leg. (enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

A, b, and c are the legs

one is 5 longer than other
a=5+b

if hypothuse is 25 then c=25

remember, if the legs are a and b and the hypothuse is length c then


so
wait, a=5+b so subsitute 5+b for a



minus 625 from both sides

factor out the 2

what 2 numbers multiply to get -300 and add to get 5?
20 and -15

set to zero
b+20=0
b=-20
false, can't have negative length of leg

b-15=0
b=15

b=15

a=5+b
a=5+15
a=20

the lengths of the legs are 20in and 25in

No i refuse to tell you the answer but the estimate is 10
