Question

Question 20. Find the length of
the hypotenuse of right triangle
having other sides of lengths 6
and 4 units. *​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

your answer is √52 or 2√13 .

Answer 2

• Given

• The length of the other two sides of a right - angled triangle = 6 units, 4 units.

• To find

• Length of the hypotenuse

• Solution

By using pythagoras theorem -

H² = P² + B²

where,

• H = hypotenuse
• P = perpendicular
• B = base

Substituting the given values,

⟶ H² = P² + B²

⟶ AC² = AB² + BC²

⟶ AC² = 36 + 16

⟶ AC² = 52

⟶ AC = ± √52 Reject - ve

⟶ H = 2 √13 units.

Hypotenuse = 2 √13 units.
