Explanation:
By Pythagoras Thereom,
Hypotenuse ²= Perpendicular Height ²+ Base height²
If you know the base height and perpendicular height, you can find the hypotenuse.
For example,
Take a triangle ABC
[ See the attachment ]
In the triangle,
AB² would be equal to AC²+BC²
Question:- AC = 4cm and BC = 5cm, find AB
Solution would be:-
Let AB be x
By Pythagoras Thereom,
AC²+BC² = AB²
4²+5² = x²
16+25 = x²
41 = x²
x = √41
