Question

Às medidas dos catetos de um triângulo retangulo são 90 cm e 120 cm . Determine a medida da altura relativa à hipotenusa

Answer 1

We are given

The measures of the legs of a triangular rectangle are 90 cm and 120 cm

we have to find hypotenuse

we can use Pythagoras theorem

`c^2=a^2+b^2`

Here ,

a, b are legs of rectangle

c is hypotenuse

so, we get

`a=90`

`b=120`

now, we can plug these value

`c^2=90^2+120^2`

`c^2=22500`

now, we can take sqrt

and we get

`√(c^2) =√(22500)`

`c=150`

So, the height measurement relative to the hypotenuse is 150cm......Answer
