Question

A right angled triangle has sides 12 cm and 5cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Answer:

using pythagoras theorem...

hypotenuse would be of 13cm.....

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angled triangle :

hypotenuse^2 = perpendicular^2 + base^2

hypotenuse^2 = (12)^2 + (5)^2

hypotenuse^2 = 144 + 25

hypotenuse^2 = 169 cm

hypotenuse = √169 = 13 cm

Hence , hypotenuse is 13cm.
