The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides that measure 7 cm and 24 cm is 25 cm
<u>Solution:</u>
Given a right angled triangle,
The sides measure 7 cm and 24 cm
We have to find the length of hypotenuse
For a right angled triangle, by Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.
From above definition we get,
Where, "c" is the length of hypotenuse
"a" is the length of one side of triangle
"b" is the length of other side of triangle
Here, a = 7 and b = 24 and c = ?
Taking square root on both sides,
Hence the length of hypotenuse is 25 cm
