The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is 6cm more than twice the shortage side. If the third side is 2cm less than the hypotenuse. Find the sides of the triangle.
Can anyone solve this problem?

I want to say you that Pythagoras theorem says h^2 = p^2+b^2.
Therefore, h^2 = 10^^+2^2.
= 100+4 = root of 104+16 = 120 and this is not a perfect square.
So the answer is none of these.

Try making a big right-angled triangle from the Dia.
Now the base value will be 10+2 = 12 and the height will be 2+3= 5. Now use Pythagoras theorem. 5^2+ 12^2 . Hence answer.

Take another letter let it be 'F', and connect it to B and D making a right angled triangle AFE. You'll able to know how Pythagoras has been applied here.

@Akshit.
In this problem there are two bases and to perpendiculars h^2 = (10 + 2)^2 + (2 + 3)^2.
=> h= root of 12^2 + 5^2.
=> h = root of 169.
So, h= 13.

I agree with @Kiran point. Please if someone have the right conceptual clarity. Then explain the dissonance in the two thought over this questions.

Answer please.
A man faces south and walks 10 km, turn west and covers 4 km, then turn north and covers 7 km, how far is from the starting point.

Your approach is correct, but you should ask for displacement, not distance.
If you are asking for distance, then the answer will be 17.
If you are asking for distance, then the answer will be 17.

If we don't get a perfect square number like the square root of 533.
Then what will be the answer, Is this 23 or none of these?

Extend the diagram and make it rectangle so its sides will be 12 and 5 the apply formula you will get 13 as answer.
