Answer:

10, 6 and 11.66

Explanation:

10, 6 and the hypothenous is equal to : √(10^2 + 6^2)

= √(100+36)

= √136

= 11.66

Answer:

10,6 and 11.66

Explanation:

A right angled triangle has three sides which are the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.

Looking at the triangle in question, the longest side is the hypotenuse while the other two sides are opposite and adjacent respectively.

Before we can get the hypotenuse, we need to know the value of the other sides first.

Based on the diagram the height of the triangle is (20-10) = 10

The base of the triangle = (7-1) = 6

This are gotten be subtracting the initial point from the final point on which the triangle is standing in space.

Hypotenuse is gotten using the Pythagoras theorem expressed as;

Hypotenuse² = Adjacent² + opposite²

Hypotenuse² = 10²+6²

Hypotenuse² = 100+36

Hypotenuse² = 136

Hypotenuse = √136

Hypotenuse = 11.66

The three sides of the triangles are therefore 10, 6 and 11.66
