Question

A hypotanuse of a right angle triangle is 13cm if one of the side of the triangle is 1cm shorter than the hypotanuse calculate the third side of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

(H)^2=(B)^2 +(P)^2

(13cm)^2=(12cm)^2 +(P)^2

169cm^2=144cm^2 +(P)^2

169cm^2-144cm^2 =(P)^2

25cm^2 = (P)^2

Now taking square root on both sides

5cm = P
