Answer from: JOEFRESH10

Shortest Leg: 5 inches, Hypotenuse: 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle follows the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. C is the hypotenus. A combination found using this is 5, 12, and 13. To double check this, we know that the hypotenus is 2x+3, where x is the smallest leg.
