In a right angle triangle ABC, the lengths of legs are given. Find the length of hypotenuse.
a=6cm and b= 8cm
Answers
Answer:
7.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
length of hypotenuse = √a^2+b^2
=√6×6+4.5×4.5
=√36+20.25
=√56.25
=7.5 cm answer

ΔABC is a given triangle
∠ABC=90
∘
,AB=6cm,BC=8cm .
Now, AC =
AB

+BC

=

+6

=10cm .
It is the hypotenuse of the △ABC.
Option A ⇒ The statement is correct because AC>AB and AC>BC from the above findings.
Option B ⇒ The statement is wrong because ∠ABC+∠CAB+∠ACB=180
∘
.
But, ∠ABC=90
∘
given.
Therefore, ∠ACB+∠CAB=180
∘
−90
∘
=90
∘
.
So each of ∠ACB,∠CAB is less than 90
∘
.
Option C ⇒ The statement is true according to the reasoning for the statement in B option.
Option D ⇒ The statement is wrong because given triangle is a right angled triangle and Pythagoras theorem is always applicable to right triangles.
