one leg of a right triangle is 5 more than the other leg the hypotenuse is one more than twice the size of the short leg find the dimension of the triangle

Short leg be x

Apply Pythagorean theorem

Take positive

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
