Question

34) In a right angled triangle PQR, which is right angled at Q, whose hypotenuse PR is 13cm and
the side QR is 12cm.Find the other side PQ and hence construct the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

we have to use pythagoras theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

s is side

s1 sq = s2 sq = hypotenuse sq

s1 sq = 12 sq = 13 sq

s1sq = 144 =169

s1 = hypotenuse - s2

s1 = 169 - 144

s1 = 25

s1= square root of 25 = 5

therefore s1 is 5 cm
