Answer:
Explanation:
Pythagoras theorem states that :
- In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides. Hypotenuse is the longest side.
- a² + b² = c²
here c is Hypotenuse (longest side)
a and b are the other two sides
1. 16, 5, 25
longest side (c) = 25
- a² + b² = c²
- 16² + 5² = 25²
- 281 = 625
2. 9, 16, 12
here longest side is 16.
- 9² + 12² = 16²
- 81 + 144 = 256
- 225 = 256
3. 9, 15, 12
here longest side is 15.
- 9² + 12² = 15²
- 81 + 144 = 225
- 225 = 225 (Required Answer)
