Right triangle Alef

The obvod of a right triangle is 84 cm, and the hypotenuse is 37 cm long. Determine the lengths of the legs.

Correct answer:

shorter leg:  12 cm
longer leg:  35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a+b+37=84 \\ {a}^2+b^2=37^2 \\ a<b \\ a=12 \\ b=35 \end{gathered}$$
