Question

If a right angle triangle has sides of lengths 'a' and 'b' and hypotenuse of length 'c', then ______.

• A. $a^2+c^2=b^2$
• B. $a^2+b^2=c^2$
• C. $a^2{c}^2=b^2$
• D. $b^2+c^2=a^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

In a right angle triangle,

Pythagoras Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the sides containing the right angle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Hence : $a^2+b^2=c^2$

Hence (B)
