Question

Find the altitude of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 cm and base

is 5 cm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

altitude = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

by pythagoras theorem ,

$h^{2}$ =  $b^{2} +p^{2}$

gn,

hypotenuse = 13cm

base = 5cm

sol,

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

169 - 25 =$p^{2}$

$p^{2}$= 144

p=$\sqrt{144}$

p = 12 cm

hence the altitude of the right triangle = 12cm
