Question

In a right angled triangle if hypotenuse is 16cm and if ratio of other two sides is 3:5find the sides​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given hypotenuse, h=16cm

Ratio of other two sides, a:b=3:5

Let altitude of the triangle be 3 and base be 5

According to Pythagoras theorem,

According to pythagoras theorem.

h^2 = B^2 + A^2

16^2 = 5^2 + 3^2

256 = 25 + 9

256 = 34

= 7.52.
