(d) 10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
QUESTION :-
ABC is a right triangle at B. The length of AC is
(a) 9 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 11 cm
(d) 10 cm
Lengths of
AB = 6 cm
BC = 8 cm
___________________________
SOLUTION :-
A.T.Q.,
We can say that,
AB = perpendicular height
BC = base
AC = Hypotenuse
We know that,
Pythagoras theorem says,
(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²
=> AC² = BC² + AB²
=> AC² = 8² + 6²
=> AC² = 64 + 36
=> AC² = 100
=> √AC² = √100
=> AC = ±10
Length cannot be negative,
So,
the length of AC = 10 cm (d)
