Question

construct a right triangle in which one side is of length 4 CM and the difference between the hypotenuse and the centre side is 2 cm

Answer 1

length of one side=4cm

let centre side=x

and hypotenuse=x+2

(x+2)^2=4^2+x^2

x^2+4+2×2×x=16+x^2

4+4x=16

4x=16-4

x=12÷4

x=3

centre side=3cm

hypotenuse=3+2=5cm

and given side =4cm
