if c is the hyptenuse of the 1st triangle

#

then 1/c is the shortest side of the 2nd triangle

quartz crater
#

I know I did the q but I keep getting the perimeter wrong can you help me with the answer pls

blazing cairn
#

so I used pythagoras

#

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

#

and also 1/a^2 + 1/c^2 = 1/b^2

#

after than i used the area which gives u another equation

#

so 0.5(1/a)(1/c)* 2 = 0.5(a)(b)

#

now u have 3 equations

#

and 3 unknowns

#

i would recommend manipulating the equation so u get a as the subject variable

#

then i just used desmos after that, cuz i couldnt be asked to solve the question manually

#

@quartz crater

#

i think thats all the clues, not sure i can help u more with the ritangle question

quartz crater
