Arturo is building a flower bed in the shape of a right triangle. the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 13 feet. one of the legs needs to be 7 feet longer than the other leg.
which equation can be used to find x, the length of the shorter leg?
x(x 7) = 13
x(x 7) = 169
x2 (x 7)2 = 13
x2 (x 7)2 = 169

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Let length of shorter leg  of right triangle=x ft

Length of other leg=x+7 ft

Hypotenuse of right triangle =13 ft

We have to find the equation which can be used to find x, the length of shorter leg.

By pythagorous theorem

Substitute the values then, we get

This is required equation which can used to find x.
