Question

6. The hypotenuse and height of a right triangle are 10 cm and 8 cm respectively. Find the length of the base.​

Answer 1

Answer:

ans is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a²+b²=c²

8²+b²=10²

64+b²=100

b²=100-64=36

√36=6.Ans

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse = 10 cm

Let Base = 8 cm

Now, by pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse  ^2  =Perpendicular^  2  +Base  2

 10 ^2 =P  2 +8 ^2

 100=p  2  +64 p  

2  =36 p

 2 =6  

2 p=6

Hence, length of other side is 6 cm.
