I have some issues with this exercise. Can someone help me?

I have some issues with this exercise …

Hi Petar. Can you explain the issues? Are you stuck trying to find the lengths of the two legs?

The ratio 3:4 means the shorter leg is a multiple of 3 and the longer leg is the same multiple of 4.

Let 3x be the shorter length and 4x be the longer length. Then we know:

(3x)^2 + (4x)^2 = 25^2

Find the positive solution for x. The legs have lengths 3x and 4x.

If one of the issues is uncertainty about 'median', try googling it or posting the definition part you need help with.

Do you need help stating the answer in words or labeling a diagram?

We'd like to know the issues. Thanks!
