Question

If a triangle has side lengths of 12,24 and 8 what is the hypotenuse side?

Answer 1

Answer:

24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a triangle is simply the slanted side of a triangle and it is always the longest side of any triangle.

Mathematically, the hypotenuse of a triangle is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem;

C² = A² + B²

Where;

C is the hypotenuse i.e the longest side.

A is the opposite side of the triangle.

B is the adjacent side of the triangle.
