Question

Construct a right-angled triangle in which the sides containing the right angle are 6 cm and 8 cm Me
the length of the hypotenuse. ​

Answer 1

Answer: 10cm

Step-by-step explanation: base^2 + height^2 = hypotenuse^2

= 6^2 + 8^2 = hypotenuse^2

= 36 + 64 = hypotenuse^2

= 100 = hypotenuse^2

So, hypotenuse = √100

so, hypotenuse = 10cm

hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Hypotenuse=10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider ▲ABC,

Length of AB= 6cm

Length of BC=8cm

Length of Hypotenuse= AC;

Now by applying Pythagoras Theorem;

In ▲ABC,

AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2;

AC^2=(6)^2+(8)^2;

AC^2=36+64;

AC^2=100;

AC=10;

Therefore AC=Hypotenuse=10cm.
