Question

The length of longest side of a right angled triangle is 26cm,and the length of one of its two legs is 10cm, what will be the length of other leg​

Answer 1

Answer:

lenght of the other leg = 24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

longest side of a right angled triangle is it's hypotenuse .

• by using Pythagoras theorem
• hypotenuse square =base square + height square
• 26×26 =10×10+ third side square
• 676=100+ 3rd side square
• 676-100= 3rd side square
• √576 = 3rd side=24

so, the lenght of the other leg = 24
