Given:-
- The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is 13cm.
- One other side of the triangle is 1cm shorter than the hypotenuse.
To find out:-
Find the third scale of the triangle .
Solution:-
Let the third Side be x.
According to the question,
★ Hypotenuse = 13 cm
★ Other side = Hypotenuse - 1 [ Given ]
= 13 cm - 1 cm
= 12 cm
Now,
By pythagoras theorem,
13² = 12² + x²
⇒ 169 = 144 + x²
⇒ x² = 169 - 144
⇒ x² = 25
⇒ x = √25
⇒ x = 5 cm
Hence, the third scale of the triangle is 5 cm.
