Question

Rohit drew a perpendicular on the line segment AB of length 7.2 cm at point X. What is
the length of line segment AX if

a. the length of XB is half the length of the line segment AB
b. the length of XB is 5.2 cms?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. XB= 7cm

b. No the lenthe of XB is not 5.2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If AXB IS A TRIANGLE. Then AB is the height of that and XB is the base. So, AX is the hypotenuse.

ACCORDING TO PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM,

(HEIGHT)²+(BASE)²=(HYPOTENUSE)²

OR, HYPOTENUSE= √(H)²+(B)²

Now you can fit the values and get the answer.
