1.	In right △ABC, the lengths of the legs are given. Find the length of the hypotenusea = 3 cm, b = 4 cm
Answer» According to the Pythagoras theorem, we have (Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)² Let c be hypotenuse and a and b be other two legs of right angled triangle Then we have c² = a² + b² c² = 3² + 4² c²= 9 + 16 = 25 c = 5 cm

In right △ABC, the lengths of the legs are given. Find the length of the hypotenusea = 3 cm, b = 4 cm

Answer»

According to the Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

Let c be hypotenuse and a and b be other two legs of right angled triangle

Then we have

c² = a² + b²

c² = 3² + 4²

c²= 9 + 16 = 25

c = 5 cm
