given the ratio between two sides of the right angle triangle is 1 : 3
and the length of it's hypotenuse is 20cm.
let the two other sides of the right angle triangle be x and 3x respectively.
according to Pythagoras theorem,
➡ hypotenuse² = base² + perpendicular²
or
➡ hypotenuse = √(base² + perpendicular²)
base and perpendicular are the two other sides of the right angle triangle.
➡ 20² = (x)² + (3x)²
➡ 400 = x² + 9x²
➡ 400 = 10x²
➡ 400/10 = x²
➡ 40 = x²
➡ x = √40
➡ x = 2√10cm
hence, the Length of the two sides are :-
- x = 2√10cm
- 3x = 3 × 2√10 = 6√10cm
