Hi...
As we know the longest side of a right trialngle is its hypotenuse....
So by Applying Pythagoras theorem we can find the third side....
As we know,
(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Side 1)^2 + (Side2)^2
so , (side2)^2= (hypotenuse)^2 -(Side1)^2
so (side 2)^2 = (65)^2 + (60)^2
(side 2)^2 = 4225 - 3600
Hence side 2 = underroot (625)
so side 2 = 25cm....
Hope this helps you.... ☺
