Do the sides 7 cm, 24cm, 25cm form a Right angled triangle? If so, write
the length of the Hypotenuse
Answers
Answer:
Yes,it will form right angled triangle
As we know,
hypotenuse is the longest leg of the triangle so,the length of hypotenuse is 25cm..
Mark me as brainliest.....
Answer:
It is right angled triangle
Hypotenuse = 25 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We know about the Pythagoras theorem,
It states that, In a right triangle, The Sum of the Squares of the shorter sides will be equal to the Square of the longest side.
That is,
a² + b² = c²
Now, there is a converse to this theorem,
A Converse is a statement that is proved to be true when the conditions are reversed.
That is,
Converse of Pythagoras theorem states that, if the Sum of the Square of the shorter sides add upto the Square of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle.
A Converse can't exist for all theorem, but most of them have Converse. These are not assumed, we reach the Converse only through proof.
So, back to our Original Question,
Now,
According to the Converse of Pythagoras theorem,
If 7² + 24² = 25²
Then, that triangle is a right triangle.
So, let's see if its correct,
LHS = 7² + 24²
= 49 + 576
= 625
RHS = 25²
= 625
Thus,
LHS = RHS
∴ 7² + 24² = 25²
Hence,
7, 24, 25 forms a right angled triangle.
Now,
Hypotenuse is longest side of a triangle.
Hence,
Hypotenuse = 25 cm
