triangle ABC is a right angled at C if AC is equal to 6 cm and BC is equal to 8 cm then how much is AB
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
use Pythagoras theorem..
GIVEN :-
triangle has 90° angle
here triangle ABC is right angled
angel C = 90°
(see the adjoining attachment)
AC and BC are equal sides of triangle ABC
value of AC = 9 cm
value of BC = 12 cm
To find :-
value of AB = ?
as we know that ,
AB is hypotenuse .
according to the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the value of AB hypotenuse
✓ Pythagorean theorem =
(sum of square of two sides) = (square of hypotenuse )
==> Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“
AB is hypotenuse ,
apply the formula of Pythagorean theorem ,
AB² = AC²+ BC²
AB² = 9²+ 12²
AB² = 81 + 144
AB² = 225
AB = √225
AB = 15 cm
we get , the value of AB hypotenuse = 15cm
