Question

In triangle ABC right angled at A. if AB=10 cm and BC=26cm then find the length of AC​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\setlength{\unitlength}in triangle ABC , A at right angle </p><p>AB = 10 cm </p><p>BC= 26cm </p><p>AC= ? </p><p></p><p>by Pythagoras theorem , </p><p></p><p>[tex]bc ^{2} = ac ^{2} + ab ^{2} \\ \\ (26) ^{2} = ac ^{2} + (10) ^{2} \\ \\ 676 = ac ^{2} + 100 \\ \\ ac ^{2} = 676 - 100 \\ \\ ac ^{2} = 576 \\ \\ ac = 24$

hence length AC is 24 cm

Answer 2

Here's the solved equation.
