The shorest side of a triangle has a length of 14 the other sides have a lengths x+1 and x+3 find the value of x that makes the triangle a right trianglea. 188 b.47c.23 d.1

x = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the sides of a right triangle is also call the Pythagorean Theorem:  a² + b² = c²

Given that 14 is the shortest side, then (x +1) is likely the other side and (x +3) is the hypotenuse.  We can then plug this value and expressions into our equation:  14² + (x + 1)² = (x+3)² or 196 + (x + 1)(x + 1) = (x + 3)(x +3).

Distribute:  196 + x² + 2x + 1 = x² + 6x + 9

Combine like terms:  188 =  4x

Divide:  x = 47

Check:  14² + 48²  = 50²  or 196 + 2304 = 2500  or 2500 = 2500

the correct answers i think are b. and d.

give me brainliest if it is correct!
