Question

if the two shorter sides of a right angled triangle is 5 cm and 12 the length of the longest side is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

the longer side is 13cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagorean theorem:

So, $a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}$

That is;

$5^{2} +12^{2} = c^{2}$

25+144 = $\sqrt{169}$ = 13cm

Hence the longer side is 13cm.
