Question

In a right angled triangle, the lengths of two sides other than the hypotenuse are 18

cm and 24 cm. Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the triangle be abc... so by pythagoras' theorem we have.... (AC) ^2 = (AB) ^2+(BC) ^2... (AC) ^2= 324+576.. (AC)^2= 900... AC=√900... So AC = 30cm.
