Question

2
If the sides of a right-angled triangle are equal to a
cm and b cm, then what is the
length of the largest side ?
(1) (a+b)2 cm (2) Va?+b2 cm
(3) (a+b?) cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

2)√(a^2+b^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

from Pythagoras theorem

(base)^2+(height)^2={hypotenuse}^2

(hypotenuse is the largest side of any right angled triangle)

given:

sides are a and b

hence

hypotenuse^2=a^2+b^2

hypotenuse=√(a^2+b^2)
