Question

How to solve pythagoras thereoem if value of two sides are only given

Answer 1

if values of two side is given, then you can find the value of third side by Pythagoras theorem.

formula for Pythagoras theorem is h² = b² + p² where 'h' is the hypotenuse of the triangle, 'b' is the base and 'p' is the perpendicular.

take an example,

only the length of hypotenuse and the base is given. hypotenuse is 5cm and base is 3cm.

we know that h² = b² + p²

put the values of hypotenuse and base.

➡ (5)² = (3)² + p² (let the perpendicular be as it is)

➡ 25 = 9 + p²

➡ 25 - 9 = p²

➡ 16 = p²

➡ p = √16

➡ p = 4cm

hence, the perpendicular of the right angle triangle is 4cm. $<p></p><p></p><p>in this way, you can find the value of third side. just put all the values which are given and leave the third side as it is. you will get your answer. </p>$

Answer 2

hey mate if u want to solve Pythagoras theorem if its to sides are given u have to squares both of sides which are given qnd then square root of it then u will get the third side suppose

h² = p² + b²

here p = 8 and b = 6

h² = 8²+6²

h²= 64+36

h²= 100

h =√100

h = 10 ans.
