Question

Construct a right triangle whose hypotenuse and one side measures 10cm and 8cm then construct another triangle whose sides are 4/5times the corresponding sides of this triangle

Answer 1

by using formula Pythagoras theorum
(10)2= (8)2 + (x) 2
100-64 = x2
36 = x2
6 = x
so the other side is 6

Answer 2

By Using Pythagoras Theoram,

(10) Square - (8) Square = (x) Square

= 100 - 64 = (x) Square.

x Square = 36

= 6
