Land boundary

The land has the shape of a right triangle. The hypotenuse has a length of 30m. The circumference of the land is 72 meters. What is the length of the remaining sides of the land boundary?

Correct answer:

a =  24 m
b =  18 m

Step-by-step explanation:


Our quadratic equation calculator calculates it.

b=a2  b=o−a−c=72−24−30=18 m
