Hypotenuse Theorem
In hypotenuse theorem hypotenuse² is equal to the addition of base² amd height²
___________________________
We know that,
Hypotenuse Theorem
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
Here,
Hypotenuse = 15 cm
Base = 9 cm
Height = ?
We know that,
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
15² = 9² + Height²
Height² = Hypotenuse² - Base²
Height² = 15² - 9²
Height² = 225 - 81
Height² = 144
Height = √144
Height = 12
Height = 12 cm
Length of the unknown side is 12 cm
