Answer:

  40 ft, 41 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relation between the sides and hypotenuse is ...

  9² +x² = (x +1)²

  81 +x² = x² +2x +1

  80 = 2x

  40 = x

The lengths of the missing sides are 40 feet and 41 feet.

Additional comment

For each odd number at least 3, there exists a right triangle with sides that differ by 1. As here, the length of the other leg is (n²-1)/2 for odd length side n.
