Question

the base and perpendicular of a right angled triangle are 6 cm and 8 cm find the hypotenuse

Answer 1

base = 6cm

height = 8cm

hypotenuse = ?

by pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse^2=base^2 + perpendicular^2

= 6^2 + 8^2

= 36 + 64

= 100

hypotenuse = root(100) = 10 cm

Answer 2

by using Pythagoras theorem

H^2 = B^2 + L^2
       = 36 + 64
       =100
   H^2 = √100 = 10
