The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 1 meter less than twice the shortest side. If the third side 1 meter more than the shortest side, find the side, find the sides of the triangle.

Let the shortest side be .

Therefore, according to the question:

Hypotenuse

Third side

On applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

The length of the side cannot be 0 ; therefore, the shortest side is .

Therefore,

Hypotenuse

Third side
