\large{ \tt{❃ \: STEP - BY - STEP \: EXPLANATION}} :

  • We're provided : In right angled triangle PQR , The length of of PR & length of PQ are 10 cm & 6 cm respectively & we're asked to find out the length of OR.

  • You need to know : The longest side, which is the opposite side of right angle is the hypotenuse ( h ) . When the reference angle is not given , You can assume the remaining sides either perpendicular ( p ) or base ( b ) .

  • Here , Hypotenuse ( h ) = 10 cm , Base ( b ) = ? & Perpendicular ( P ) = 6 cm

  • Before solving, You will have to know : The square of the hypotenuse of a right - angled triangle is equal to the sum of square of the remaining two sides.


\large{ \tt{❁ \: LET'S\: START}} :


\boxed {\large{ \bf {\: ♕ \: {h}^(2) = {p}^(2) + {b}^(2) }}}

- Plug the known values and then simplify !


\large{ \tt{ ↦ \: {10}^(2) = {6}^(2) + {b}^(2) }}


\large{ \tt{↦100 = 36 + {b}^(2) }}


\large{ \tt{↦36 + {b}^(2) = 100 }}


\large{ \tt{ ↦{b}^(2) = 100 - 36}}


\large{ \tt{↦ {b}^(2) = 64}}


\large{ \tt{↦b = √(64)}}


\boxed{ \large{ \tt{↦ \: b = 8 \: cm}}}

  • Hence , The length of QR is 8 cm .

✺ Raise you hand and clear your doubts , the bullies at the last benches and the nerds at the first benches are not going to write your exam , it doesn't matter what class will think about you!
