Question

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13 cm. If one of the side of the
triangle be 5 cm long, find the length of the other side.

Please answer the question in process..​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of other side is 12 cm Pythagorean theorem, states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

Answer 2

here

hypotenuse(h)=13 cm

base(b)=5 cm

perpendicular(p)=?

we know,

$h^{2}$=$p^{2}+ b^{2}$

$13^{2}$=$p^{2} +5^{2}$

$13^{2}-5^{2}$ -=$p^{2}$

169-25=$p^{2}$

$\sqrt{144}$=p

so, p=$\sqrt{144}$= 12

so another length is 12 cm
