use is the right triangle
ABC right angled at B, AB 16cm,
BC=12cm ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

20cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagoras theorem, In a Right angled triangle ABC at right angle B

AB

AB = 16cm , BC = 12cm , BD = ?

AB^2 + BC^2 = AD^2

$ab^{2} \: + \: bc {}^{2} = \: ac {\:\:}^{2} \:$

• 16^2 + 12^2 = BD^2
• 256 + 144 = BD^2
• 400 = BD^2
• BD = √400
• BD = 20cm.

THE ANSWER IS 20cm.
