Answer: 5 and 7 (See the figure attached).

Explanation:

You need to remember that the slope can be calculated with this formula:


slope=(rise)/(run)

Where the "rise" is the vertical distance of the triangle and the "run" is the horizontal distance of the triangle.

You know that the incline of this triangle has a slope of
(5)/(7), then you can say that the "rise" is 5 and the "run" is 7:


slope=(rise)/(run)=(5)/(7)

Therefore, the possible measurements for the two legs of the right triangle are: 5 and 7 (Observe the figure attached).
