Question

Find the missing side. 1) 2304 2) 3600 3) 1296 4) 36

Answer 1

Answer:

heya! ^^

here , we've been given a right angled triangle along with the measure of two of its sides.

and , we've to find the measure of its third side.

so , we'll be using Pythagoras Theorem to find the measure of the third side.

but first , let's take a look at what Pythagoras Theorem is-

Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of the triangle is equal to the sum of squares of the remaining two sides.

according to the figure ,

side AB = hypotenuse = 60 cm

side AC = perpendicular = 48 cm

side BC = base = a

now by using Pythagoras Theorem ,

$H {}^{2} = P {}^{2} + B {}^{2} \\ \\ (60) {}^{2} = (48) {}^{2} + a {}^{2} \\ \\ 3600 = 2304 + a {}^{2} \\ \\ a {}^{2} = 1296 \\ \\ a = \sqrt{1296} \\ \\ a = 36$

therefore ,

option ( 4 ) 36 is correct.

hope helpful :D
