Question

Find the value of $c$ in the triangle using Pythagoras theorem.

• A. $24$
• B. $25$
• C. $26$
• D. $27$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $25$

In a right triangle, $a^2+b^2=h^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the legs and $c$ is the length of the hypotenuse. This is called Pythagoras Theorem.
$a=7,b=24,c=?$
$7^2+{24}^2=c^2$
$576+49=$ $c^2$
$c^2$ $=625$
Taking root on both the sides, we get
$c=25$
