Need some help :(
One side of a rectangle is 5meters shorter than the other. If the length of the diagonal os 14m, find the lengths of the sides
This is a question we haven't been equipt to answer, so I really need some help. All I have come up with is a bad attempt with Pythagoras:
Trying to do 14^2=(a-5)^2+b^ and somehow get a value. Obviously, I've come up with nothing :(
