In a right triangle, if one side is 5 cm and the other is 12 cm, the hypotenuse will be _____?
Answer: 13 cm
Explanation
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
where a and b are the lengths of the two sides, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
Given:
a = 5 cm
b = 12 cm
Substitute the values:
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
Take the square root:
c = √169
= 13 cm
