Let the smaller perpendicular side = x cm
and the larger perpendicular side = y cm
Now, given length of the hypotenuse = 3√10
=> x2 + y2 = (3√10)2
=> x2 + y2 = 9*10
=> x2 + y2 = 90 ..............1
Again, given if the smaller side is tripled and the longer side is doubled, new hypotenuse will be 9√5 cm
=> (3x)2 + (2y)2 = (9√5)2
=> 9x2 + 4y2 = 81*5
=> 9x2 + 4y2 = 405
=> 5x2 + 4x2 + 4y2 = 405
=> 5x2 + 4(x2 + y2 ) = 405
=> 5x2 + 4 * 90 = 405 {from equation 1}
=> 5x2 + 360 = 405
=> 5x2 = 405 - 360
=> 5x2 = 45
=> x2 = 45/5
=> x2 = 9
=> x = ±√9
=> x = ±3
Since x can not be negative
So, x = 3
From equation 1, we get
32 + y2 = 90
=> 9 + y2 = 90
=> y2 = 90 - 9
=> y2 = 81
=> y = ±√81
=> y = ±9
Since, y can not be negative
So, y = 9
Hence, the two other sides of the triangle are 3 cm and 9 cm.
