Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Here, In right triangle
• Base = 5 cm
• Perpendicular = 12 cm
• Hypotenuse =?
• So, By paythagores theorem
• (Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base) ^2 + (Perpendicular)^2
• Hypotenuse = √( 5)^2 + (12)^2 = √25+144 = √169 = 13 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of first side right triangle = 5cm

Length of second side right triangle = 12cm

Let the hypotenuse side be x.

By using phythagoras theorem

hypotenuse = length of first side+length of second side

x² = 5²+12²

x² = 25+144

x² = 169

x² = √169

x = 13

length of hypotenuse side is 13.
