Question

In triangle ABC, where triangle B is the right angle, side AB has a length of 6 cm and side BC has a length of 10 cm. What is the length of side AC? A. 4 cm B. 6 cm c. 11.66 cm D. 8 cm

Answer 1

11.66cm (c)

Explanation:

Apply the phuthagorean theorem

Side opposite to the right angle in triangle is AC

AC²=ab²+bc²=10²+6²=100+36=136

We need AC so take the square root of 136 which is 11.66 as the answer
