Question

Construct a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 cm long and one of the legs is 5 cm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

another leg is 12 and then we can easily construct the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras theorem

${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

${13}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

169-25 = b^2

b^2 = 144

b = 12
