Solution


In ΔABC, AB = 24 cm, BC = 10 cm and AC = 26 cm.

Now,

AB2 + BC2 = (24 cm)2 + (10 cm)2 = 576 cm2 + 100 cm2 = 676 cm2

AC2 = (26 cm)2 = 676 cm2

∴ AB2 + BC2 = AC2

In ΔABC, AB2 + BC2 = AC2

Using converse of Pythagoras theorem, we have

ΔABC is a right triangle right angled at B.

⇒ ∠B = 90º

In ΔABC, if AB = 24 cm, BC = 10 cm and AC = 26 cm, then ∠B = ____90º ____.
