Question
In figure, triangle ABC is right-angled at B. Given that AB = 9 cm, AC = 15 cm, calculate the length of BC
- 15 cm
- 18 cm
- 21 cm
- 12 cm
Hint:
We are given a right-angled triangle ABC. We are given two of its side. Angle B is 90°. We have to find the remaining side. We will use Pythagoras theorem to find the solution.
The correct answer is: 12 cm
The given triangle is ABC.
The given values are ∠ABC = 90°
AB = 9 cm
AC = 15 cm.
For the given triangle AC is the hypotenuse.
We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve the question.
Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of the square of two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
We have to find the value of BC.
Substitute all the values.
152 = 92 + BC2
225 = 81 + BC2
Subtract 81 from both the sides and rearranging the equation for BC.
BC2 = 225 - 81
= 144
Take square root of both the sides.
BC = 12 cm.
So, the length of the remaining side is 12 cm.
For such questions, we should know the Pythagoras theorem of a triangle.

Figure shows the roller coaster track. Each car will start from rest at point A and will roll with negligible friction. It is important that there should be at least some small positive normal force exerted by the track on the car at all points, otherwise the car would leave the track. With the above fact, the minimum safe value for the radius of curvature at point B is (g = 10 ):
