Question

In a right angled triangle, lengths off side forming right angle are 6 cm and 8 cm respectively find the length of its hypotenuse

Answer 1

$\red{\bf{ \bigstar \: \underline{Given} :}}$ In a right angled triangle, lengths of side forming right angle are 6 cm and 8 cm.

$\green{\bf{ \bigstar \: \underline{To \: Find} :}}$ What is the length of its hypotenuse?

ㅤㅤ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\pink{ \dag }$ As we know,

In a right angled triangle,

★ The square on the hypotenuse = Sum of the squares on the legs.

★ H² = B² + P²

Therefore,

➟ H² = B² + P²

➟ H² = 8² + 6²

➟ H² = 64 + 36

➟ H = $\sf{ \sqrt{100} }$

➟ H = 10

Hence, the length of its hypotenuse is 10 cm.
