Explanation:

Well if the trianagles are equal then

3x-y = x+2y and

5x+3y = 8x-7 Now, do you know how to solve systems (2) of equations?

Re arrange the first equation

2x - 3y = 0 the second equation is

-3x + 3 y = - 7 add the two equations to get

-x = -7 then x = 7 ( and y = 4 2/3)

Now hypotenuse = 8x - 7 = 8 (7 ) - 7 = 49 units
