Question

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

Answer 1

12^2 + 5^ = c^2

144 + 25 = c^2

169 = c^2

13=c

Answer 2

Answer:

13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

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

• To find: Length of hypotenuse

• By Pythagoras Theorem:

• $l(hypotenuse)=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$

• $\implies l(hypotenuse)=\sqrt{144+25}$

• $\implies l(hypotenuse)=\sqrt{169}$

• $\implies l(hypotenuse)=13\: m$
