Question

A triangle has a hypotenuse of 25 cm and a base of 20 cm. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing height O 15 cm 20 cm 0 225 cm 0 1025 cm

Answer 1

Given data:

The hypotenuuse of the triangle is H=25 cm.

The base of the triangle is B=20 cm.

The expression for the Pythagoras theorem is,

`H^2=P^2+B^2`

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

Thus, the other side of the triangle is 15 cm.
