Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is √7 cm.
Find the length of the perpendicular sides.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Perpendicular=1cm

base=root 6

Step-by-step explanation:

you can refer to 'square root spiral' which is used to locate the roots(irrational numbers)

Answer 2

The length of the perpendicular side is √7 cm.

Given,

Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle=√7 cm.

To find,

the length of the perpendicular sides.

Solution:

• A right angled triangle has three sides just like all the other triangle except that the side which makes an angle of 90° is called as perpendicular.
• The side on which it is perpendicular is known as the base.
• And the side opposite to the 90° angle is known as hypotenuse.
• The hypotenuse of a triangle say ΔABC, hypotenuse Ca is equal to the root of sum of square of the other sides.
• Also a trigonometric function will be used i.e. sinθ which is equal to the ratio of the perpendicular of the triangle and the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The perpendicular of this triangle will be:

sin90°=perpendicular/hypotenuse

1=perpendicular/hypotenuse

perpendicular=hypotenuse

perpendicular=hypotenuse=√7 cm.

Hence, the perpendicular of this triangle is √7 cm.
