Step-by-step explanation:
Given that hypotenuse h=13 cm
and one side b=12 cm
Let say third side is P
Now applying pythagorus theorem:
Therefore, h
2
=b
2
+P
2
⇒13
2
=12
2
+P
2
⇒13
2
−12
2
=P
2
⇒P
2
=5

Thus third side of a triangle is 5 cm

By Pythagoras Theorem,
hypotenuse² = perpendicular² + base²
c² = a² + b² ( or, ) c² = b² + a²
Now; by this formula, find the sides:-
(i)
=> a² = c² - b²
=> a² = 13² - 12² cm²
=> a² = 169 - 144 cm²
=> a² = 25 cm²
=> a = 5 cm
Therefore, a = 5 cm
(ii)
=> c² = a² + b²
=> c² = 8² + 6² cm²
=> c² = 64 + 36 cm²
=> c² = 100 cm²
=> c = 10 cm
Therefore, c = 10 cm
(iii)
=> b² = c² - a²
=> b² = 41² - 9² cm²
=> b² = 1,681 - 81 cm²
=> b² = 1,600 cm²
=> b = 40 cm
Therefore, b = 40 cm
