Question

Find the length of
the hypotenuse
of thi right angled triangles
4. ABC, AB = 16, BC = 12, B = 90°​

Answer 1

(Take a look on the figure I have drawn which will help you to understand).

The length of hypotenuse can be find by Pythagoras Theorem,

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

= 16^2 + 12^2

= 256 + 144

= 400

AC = √400

AC = 20 units

Hence, Hypotanuse AC is 20 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

ABC,AB=16,BC=12,B=90°

(AB)²+(BC)²=(AC)²

(AC)²=(16)²+(12)²

(AC)²=256+144

(AC)²=400

AC=√400

AC=20
