MCQ
Some questions and their alternative answers are given. Select the correct alternative. In a right $-$ angled triangle, if sum of the squares of the sides making right angle is $169$ then what is the length of the hypotenuse?
  • A
    $15$
  • $13$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $12$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$13$
Given,
Sum of the squares of the sides making right angle $=169$
$\Rightarrow(\text { base })^2+(\text { perpendicular })^2=169$
But we know, By Pythagoras's theorem
$(\text { Hypotenuse })^2=(\text { base })^2+(\text { Perpendicular })^2$
$\Rightarrow(\text { Hypotenuse })^2=169$
$\Rightarrow$ Hypotenuse $=13$ units.
