Question
Choose the correct alternative:
In right angled triangle, if sum of the squares of the sides of right angle is 169, then what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Options
15
13
5
12
Solution
13
In ∆PQR,
∠Q = 90°
∴ PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 ...[Pythagoras theorem]
∴ PR2 = 169 ...[Given]
∴ PR = `sqrt(169)`
Taking square root both the sides,
∴ PR = 13

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)
Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`
∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.
∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`
∴ `square` + l2 = m2
∴By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
