Question

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 25 cm and the perpendicular is 7 cm .Find the base of the triangle

Answer 1

ANSWER

BASE=24CM

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be x

base = Hypotenuse - altitude

${x }^{2} = 25cm ^{2} - 7cm ^{2} \\ x {}^{2} = 625cm - 49cm \\ x {}^{2} = 576cm \\ x {} = 24cm \\ so \: base = 24cm$
