Problem 34
Solve each problem. When appropriate, round answers to the nearest tenth. Manuel is planting a vegetable garden in the shape of a right triangle. The longer leg is \(3 \mathrm{ft}\) longer than the shorter leg, and the hypotenuse is \(3 \mathrm{ft}\) longer than the longer leg. Find the lengths of the three sides of the garden.
