The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5inches long. The shorter leg is 1 inch shorter than the longer leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle. Length of the shorter leg:

Length of the longer leg:
Length of the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse = 5 in

Longer leg = 4 in

Shorter leg = 3 in

Step-by-step explanation

The longer leg = x

The shorter leg = x - 1

Now through Pythagoras theorem:

hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2

5^2 = x^2 + (x - 1)^2

25 = x^2 + x^2 - 2 x + 1^2

25 = 2 x^2 - 2 x + 1

2 x^2 - 2 x - 24 = 0

2 ( x^2 - x - 12) = 0

2 (x - 4) (x + 3) =0

then x = 4  or x = - 3

We use the positive answer since we are looking for a length

then longer leg is 4 inches long,

and therefore the shorter one is one inch shorter than 4 in . That is:

shorter leg = 3 inches

it will be a cylinder. with a diameter of 8 and 4 single pieces high

step-by-step explanation:

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
