Question

The hypotenuse of a triangle is 2.5 cm. If One of the sides is 1.5 cm. Find the length of the
other side.

Answer 1

PROVIDED:-

•The hypotenuse of a triangle is 2.5 cm. If One of the sides is 1.5 cm.

FIND:-

• The length of other side.

GIVEN:-

• hypotenuse = 2.5cm

• one side = 1.5cm ( let it be base )

• other side = ?

FORMULA:-

• H² = P² + b²

SOLUTION:-

H² = P² + b²

(2.5)² = P² + (1.5)²

6.25 = P² + 2.25

6.25 - 2.25 = p²

4 = P²

√4 = p

2 = P

Hence, the length of the other side will be 2cm.
