Question
The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle of sides 12 cm and 16 cm is __________
Options
28 cm
20 cm
24 cm
21 cm
Solution
20 cm
Explanation;
Hint:
Side take a = 12 cm
b = 16 cm
The hypotenuse c2 = a2 + b2
= 122 + 162
= 144 + 256
c2 = 400
⇒ c = 20 cm

From given figure, In ∆ABC, If AC = 12 cm. then AB =?
Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
