The relation between the base, perpendicular and base in a right angle triangle is given by the Pythagoras Theorem.
Pythagoras theorem states that:
h ^ 2 = p ^ 2 + b ^ 2
Here in this question,
Let p = 9 cm and b = 12 cm.
We have to find ' h ' i.e. the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem here,
h ^ 2 = p ^ 2 + b ^ 2
h ^ 2 = ( 9 ) ^ 2 + ( 12 ) ^ 2
h ^ 2 = 81 + 144
h ^ 2 = 225
h = √225
h = 15 cm
Hence,
Hypotenuse of the triangle = h = 15 cm
