Question

Which of the following can be the sides of a right triangle? (i) 2 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm. (ii) 4cm, 6 cm, 8 cm. (iii) 6 cm, 8cm, 10 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Take ant 2 sides exep5 the hypotenuse as 6cm and 8cm because the longest side is always the hypotenuse...

there by Pythagoras the hypotenuse will be 10cm therefore correct ans is 6,8 and 10 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

(iii) 6 cm, 8cm, 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the sides of a right triangle, we need to apply the Pythagoras Theorem. Hypotenuse is the longest side,hence,

6² = 4² + 2²

36 = 16 + 4

36 ≠ 20

This is the wrong option.

8² = 6² + 4²

64 = 36 + 16

64 ≠ 52

This is the wrong option.

10² = 8² + 6²

100 = 64 + 36

100 = 100

Hence this is the answer.
