Question

The perpendicular length of a right triangle, whose hypotenuse is 15 cm and base is 12 cm, is. (a) 27 cm (b) 18 cm (c) 81 cm (d) 9 cm​

Answer 1

Using Pythagoras theorem:

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

• h is hypotenuse
• b is base
• p is perpendicular

As given

h=15 cm, b= 12 cm

Therefore,

${15}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {p}^{2}$

$225 - 144 = {p}^{2}$

$81 = {p}^{2} \\ \sqrt{81} = p \\ 9 = p$

Perpendicular height = 9 cm
