Hey mate ,
In this question we have given the length of hypotenuse and base of a right angle triangle and asked us to find the perpendicular length
- Hypotenuse = 16cm
- base = 9cm
According to Pythagoras theorem ,
Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular²+base²
16cm² = (P)² + 9cm²
256 - 81 cm = P²
√175 cm = P
Perpendicular = 13.22 cm
