Question

How to identify the hypotenuse, perpendicular and base of a right-angled ∆ ?​

Answer 1

$\huge \colorbox{magenta}{❥Answer}$

The side opposite angle 90° is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The sum of the other two interior angles is equal to 90°. The other two sides adjacent to the right angle are called base and perpendicular.

Hope it helps uh! ☺

Answer 2

Answer:

NOTE:This method is only applicable in case of the triangle is right angled

1. Hypotenuse: √(base)2+(perpendicular height)2

If the base and perpendicular is given

2. Perpendicular:√(hypotenuse)2 - (base)2

If the hypotenuse and the base is given

3. Base: √(hypotenuse)2 - (perpendicular)2

If the hypotenuse and the perpendicular is given
