Question

Construct a right angle triangle whose base is 12cm and sum of its hypotenuse and other side is 18cm

Answer 1

Answer:

so construct triangle with

base 12 cm side 5 cm and hypotenuse 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

base = 12 cm

let one side be x

hypotenuse be 18-x

by pythagoras theorem

12²+ x²= 18²+ x²-36x

144= 324-36x

36x = 180

x= 5

hypotenuse =18-5 =13cm
