Question

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle of sides 12cm and 16cm is what Options
a) 28cm b) 20cm c) 24cm d) 21cm

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(AB)^2=(BC)^2 + (AC)^2

AB =ROOT 144 + 256

AB =ROOT 400

AB =20

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(H)^2 = (P)^2 + (B)^2 [By Pythagoras Theorm]

(H)^2 = (16)^2 +(12)^2

(H)^2 = 256 + 144

H = √400

H = 20 cm

Ans = (b)
