Question

A right angled triangle has sides 12m and 5 m.what is the length of the hypotenuses of this triangle?

Answer 1

13 m

Explanation:

• Given: sides of the right triangle are 12 m and 5 m

• To find: Length of hypotenuse

• By Pythagoras Theorem:

• 
  `l(hypotenuse)=√(12^2+5^2)`

• 
  `\implies l(hypotenuse)=√(144+25)`

• 
  `\implies l(hypotenuse)=√(169)`

• 
  `\implies l(hypotenuse)=13\: m`

Answer 2

12^2 + 5^ = c^2

144 + 25 = c^2

169 = c^2

13=c
