Question

Prove that hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle

Answer 1

Hey, here is your answer

Answer 2

In the given triangle ABC,

Angle B = 90°

Hence Angle A + Angle C = 180°- 90°  ...(Sum of all angles of the triangle are 180°)

Therefore Angle B is the greater angle than Angle A and Angle C. [Angle A>Angle C ]  

We know that, Side opposite to greater angle is always longer.

Therefore, Side opposite to angle B is AC

.

[AC > BC and AC > AB]

That is AC is the longest side..

[AC is the Hypotenuse ] . . .
