Question

Find the length of hypotenuse.

  1. 15cm
  2. 89 cm
  3. 45.4 cm
  4. 10 cm

hintHint:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“. The sides of this triangle have been named Perpendicular, Base and Hypotenuse. Using this theorem we can find the missing side.

The correct answer is: 15cm


    Using Pythagoras theorem,
    In increment P Q R comma space
    perpendicular, PQ = 9cm , base, QR= 12cm, hypotenuse, PR = ?
    P R squared equals P Q squared plus Q R squared
space space space space space space space space equals space 9 squared plus 12 squared
space space space space space space space space equals 81 plus 144
space space space space space space space space equals 225
P R space equals space square root of 225
space space space space space space space equals space 15 space c m
