Answer:
The hypotenuse is 13 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The area of a right angled triangle is 30 cm square.
To find: If its smallest side is 5 cm, then find its hypotenuse.
Solution:
Now we know that area of triangle is:
A = 1/2 x base x height
Let the base be 5 cm, then:
30 = 1/2 x 5 x h
h = 30 x 2 / 5
h = 6 x 2
h = 12 cm
Now using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
hypotenuse = √5² + 12²
hypotenuse = √25 + 144
hypotenuse = √169
hypotenuse = 13 cm. ans.
