1. Answer:

   hello

   ans is 10 and 24

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Wire length = 60 cm

   right triangle is formed

   perimeter = 60 cm

   hypotenuse = 26

   so sum of legs = 60 -26 = 34cm

   let one leg be x

   other leg = 34-x

   (34-x)^2+x^2= 26^2

   1156-68x+x^2= 676

   2x^2-68x+1156-676=0

   2x^2-68x+480=0

   /2

   x^2-34x+240=0

   x^2-24x-10x+240=0

   x(x-24)-10(x-24)=0

   (x-24)(x-10)=0

   The legs are 24 & 10 cm
