Find the length of segments ab and bc.

AB = 10

BC = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming ABC is a straight line,

then AC = AB + BC

It is given that :

AB = x - 5

BC = 3x + 3

AC = 6x - 32

hence

AC = AB + BC

or

(6x - 32) = (x - 5) + (3x + 3)

6x - 32 = x - 5 + 3x + 3

6x - 32 = 4x - 2

6x - 4x = -2 + 32

2x = 30

x = 15

hence

AB = x - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10

BC = 3x + 3 = 3(15) + 3 = 48

35 is an outlier

step-by-step explanation:

assume that you have 3 different side lengths.   apply the pythagorean theorem here:   square each of the two shortest sides; call them a and b, so that their squares are a² and b².   also square the longest side, calling the result c².

now, if a² + b² = c² is true, the triangle is a right triangle; otherwise it is not a right triangle.
