Question

In a triangle PQR right angled at Q, QR = 24 cm and hypotenuse PR = 25
cm. Find the length of PQ.
pls explain properly

Answer 1

Apply the pythagoras theorem

Answer 2

Answer:

7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagoras theorem

ina right angled triangle

side^2+side^2=hypotenuse^2

therefore

pq^2+qr^2=pr^2

pq^2+ 24^2=25^2

pq^2=625-576

pq^2=49

pq = $\sqrt{49}$

pq = 7
