Question

Find the length of the remaining side of the right angle triangle if it's hypotenuse is 1.45cm and one side is 1.44cm long

Answer 1

Answer:

The remaining side of the given triangle is 0.17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, in a right angle angled triangle,

(hypotenuse)² = (one side)² + (other side)²

(1.45)²= (1.44)² + (other side)²

2.10 = 2.07 + (other side)²

(other side)² = 0.03

other side = √0.03

                 = 0.17 cm

Answer 2

Let the other side be x
Applying Pythagoras theorem
X^2= 1.45^2-1.44^2
X^2= 2.1025-2.0736
X^2= 0.0289
X= root of 0.0289
X=0.17
