construct a line right angle triangle having the length of side forming right angle is 3 cm and 4 cm what is the length of third side of the triangle
Answers
Since you refer to all of these as 'sides', I am tempted to say that there are two answers to this. First, you could assume that the 3rd side (not given) is the hypotenuse of the triangle. In that case the pythagorean theorem would give you 32 +422 which simplifies to 9162 which again simplifies to 252 or 5 and you would have [3, 4, 5) as the lengths of the sides of your triangle. But, you could equally say that the hypotenuse has a length of 4 (3 cannot be the hypotenuse because the hypotenuse of a right triangle is longer than either of the other 2 sides) So, your equation becomes 32 x4 Which can be re-written as 9-16. Which can be rewritten as 7 Which can be solved as zV7. Then you would have sides of v7,3,4) It all depends on what you meant, OP.
