the shorter leg of a right triangle is 5 cm shorter than the longer leg the hypotenuse is 5 cm longer than the longer leg find the side lengths

Answer 1

I didn't even have to bother with algebra. Think of the 3-4-5 where the distance between the shorter leg and longer leg is 1 and the difference between the larger leg and hypotenuse is 1.

5* (3,4,5) = (15,20,25)
