Question

Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle ,whose sides containing right angles are :10cm and 24cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Given sides are 10 cm and 24cm

To find:-

• Hypotenuse

It can be solved using Pythagoras Theorem

Hypotenuse²=Base²+height²

=(10cm)²+(24cm)²

= 100cm²+576 cm²

=676cm²

$\sf \: \therefore \: hypotenus = \sqrt{ {676cm}^{2} } \\ \: \sf = 26cm$

Correct answer:-

• Hypotenuse=26cm
