Question

Find the hypotenuse of triangle with height 12 and base 5 x -3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem states that - " The sum of the squares of the smaller sides of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the greatest side / hypotenuse of right angled triangle ".

Let the third side be 'x'

So ,

x

=

x

x

=

169

x

=

√

169

x

=

13

The greatest side / hypotenuse of the triangle = 13

The perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all sides

=
