Arithmetic 80808

The lengths of the sides of a right triangle form the first 3 terms of the arithmetic sequence. The content is 6cm2.

Correct answer:

a =  3
b =  4
c =  5

Step-by-step explanation:

a,b,c S = 6  cm2  S = 2ab b=a+d c=a+2d  c=a2+b2 = a2 + (a+d)2  (a+2d)2 = a2 + (a+d)2 a (a+d)=2 S = 12  a2+4a +4d2 = a2 + a2+2ad + d2 a2+ad = 12  4a + 3d2 = a2 +2ad a2+ad = 12  4a + 3d2 = a2 +2(12a2) 4a + 3d2 = a2 +242a2  a=3 d=1
b=a+d=3+1=4
c=b+d=4+1=5
