Question

In the right angle triangle is sum of the squares of the sides making right angle is 169 the what is the length of the hypotenuse?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 13

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

We have been provided that the sum of the squares of the sides making right angle is 169.

As we know that according to Pythagoras theorem,

Sum of the square of two sides containing right angles is always equal to square of the third side that is also hypotenuse.

If PQR is the right triangle at ∠Q = 90°

∴ PQ² + QR² = PR²

Using this concept, we can find the value of third side

PQ² + QR² = PR²

169 = PR²

∴ PR = 13

Hence, the length of third side = 13.

Therefore, correct option is (B).
