Question

construct a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 6 cm long and one of the legsis 4 cm long​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angled triangle,

hypotenuse = 6 cm

base ( one side) = 4 cm

So, By Pythagoras' theorem :-

h2 = P2 + b2

=> 6^2 = P2 + 4^2

=> P2 = 36 - 16

=> P2 = 20

Therefore, P = √20

= √2×2×5

= 2√5 cm

= 4.47 cm (approx.)
