How much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg?
a. 2 ft
b. 4 ft
c. 8 ft
d. 10 ft
Answer : The correct option is, (b) 4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔACB :
Given:
Side AC = 6 ft
Side BC = 8 ft
Now put all the values in the above expression, we get the value of side AB.
Now we have to calculate the how much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.
Difference = Side AB - Side AC
Difference = 10 ft - 6 ft
Difference = 4 ft
Therefore, the 4 ft longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.
