The legs of the triangle are 6.91 feet, 7.9 feet, and 10.5 feet.
The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as
H² = P² + B²
The ratio of the one leg of the right triangle to the other leg of the right triangle must be 8:7.
Let x be one leg and y be another leg. Then we have
x/y = 8/7
y = 7x/8
Then the greatest length of one leg of the right triangle given the other leg of the right triangle is 10.5 feet will be
10.5² = x² + (7x/8)²
110.25 = x² + 49x²/64
110.25 = 113x²/64
x² = 62.44
x = 7.902
x ≅ 7.9 feet
Then the other leg will be
y = 7.9 x 7 / 8
y = 6.91
