Question

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 cm and 12 cm.The length of the hypotenuse is

5 cm
12 cm
13 cm
17 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Base=5cm

Perpendicular=12cm

By pythagorus theorm

(H)^2=(P)^2+(B)^2

(H)^2=(12)^2+(5)^2

(H)^2=144+25

(H)^2=169

H=underroot169

So,as we know that 169is the square of 13.

So,

H=underroot(13)^2

Therefore,

H=13=Answer
