Question

A right angled triangle has sides 12m and 5 m.what is the length of the hypotenuses of this triangle?

Answer 1

Hi there !!

Given :

Sides of the triangles as 12 m and 5 m

According to Pythagoras Theorem :

a = 12m

b = 5 m

c = hypotenuse

a² + b² = c²

12² + 5² = c²

144 + 25 = c²

169 = c²

c = √ 169

c = 13 cm  
∴  hypotenuse = 19.20cm

Answer 2

Given 2 sides of right angled triangle are 12 m and 5m

Applying pythagoras theorem

Length of hypotenuse = √ (12)² + (5)² = √144 + 25 = √169 = 13 m

Required length of hypotenuse is 13 m

Hope This Helps You!
