Answer:

The side b is 2√6 unit

Explanation:

in right triangle ΔABC,∠C=900,a=5,c=7;c is

the side opposite to the right angle, so it is hypotenuse,

aandb are the adjacent sides of the right angle .

We know in right triangle ΔABC,a²+b²=c²

∴5²+b²=7²or

b²=49−25=24

∴√b²=√24

b=√24

b=2√6

. The side b is 2√6 unit [Ans]

AB = 7 cm

CB = 5 cm

AC = 2√6cm

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

AC²=BC²+AB²

(2√6)²=5²+7²

24=25+49

24=74

Hence, it is not a right-angled triangle ABC.
