Overview

If the three sides of a right-angled triangle having perimeter 36 cm are in A.P., find them.

Sides of right triangle in A.P., perimeter 36.

Let sides be (a-d,\ a,\ a+d) with hypotenuse (a+d).

[ (a-d)^2+a^2=(a+d)^2 ] As in Q22 of 6.2: (a=4d)

Sides: (3d,\ 4d,\ 5d)

[ 3d+4d+5d=36\implies 12d=36\implies d=3 ]

Sides: (9,\ 12,\ 15)

Answer: (9,\ 12,\ 15)

Discuss theoretical concepts, mathematical formulas, and architectural foundations.
