Question

B) Solve the following subquestions.
1) Height and base of a right angled triangle are 24 cm and 18 cm. Find the length of its hypotenuse​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of hypotenuse is 30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Height (i.e Perpendicular) = p = 24 cm

Base = b = 18cm

By using Pythagoras theorem we can find the length of hypotenuse (h) .

${p}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {h}^{2} \\ {24}^{2} + {18}^{2} = {h}^{2}$

So,

$h = \sqrt{( {24)}^{2} + {18)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{576 + 324} \\ = \sqrt{900} = 30$

So , length of hypotenuse is 30 cm
