Let abc be a right angled triangle with
/_B,then it's hypotenuse AC=25cm
Let base BC = x cm ,then
perimeter of /_ abc =AB+BC+CA
=> 60 cm = AB + x cm+25cm =>AB=(35-x cm)
In ∆ABC, /_ B =90°
AB^2+BC ^2= AC^2(Pythagoras theorem)
=>(35-x)^2+x^2=26^2
=>1225-70x+ x^2+x^2=625
=>2x^2-70x+1225-625=0
=>2x^2-70x+600=0
=>2x(x-20)-30(x-20)=0
=>(x-20)(2x-30)=0
=>x-20=0
x= 20
Hope it will help you
