Right triangle ABC has a right angle at vertex C. The measures of the legs are: AC = x+2 BC= 2 AB: x+8 Find the length of AC

Answer 1

After making my sketch it was clear that:
(x+8)^2 = (x+2)^2 + 2^2
expand and you will see that the x^2 drops out and you can easily for for x
then find AC = x+2 = ....
