Question

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Answer 1

25 cm.

Step-by-step explaination:

Given,

Two sides of a triangle:

a = 7cm

b = 24 cm

To find,

Third side:

c = ?

By Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]

Putting the value of a and b;

we get,

7² + 24² = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25² = c² (square root)

25 = c

c = 25

Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

Answer 2

Question:-

The lengths of two sides of the right triangle ABC shown in the illustration given

a= 7cm and b= 24cm

Given,

> a= 7cm

> b= 24cm

To find?

Side c (third side)

Solution:-

Using Pythagoras theorem,

▶️ a² + b² = c

▶️ 7cm ² + 24cm² = c²

▶️ 49cm + 576cm = c²

▶️ 625cm = c²

▶️ 25² = c² (25×25 = 625)

▶️ c = 25

The value of c is 25 cm.
