A garden has the shape of a right triangle with one leg 4 meters longer than the other. the hypotenuse is 4 meters less than twice the length of the shorter leg. what is the length of the shorter leg?
You can get this answer by setting the legs equal to x and x+4 and the hypotenuse as 2x-4. Then use the Pythagorean Theorem and the quadratic equation to solve.
