Question

The length of the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle whose measure of two sides are 12 cm and 0.35 m is:

• A. 37 cm
• B. 3.72 cm
• C. 0.372 cm
• D. 37 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 37 cm

$0.35m=0.35\times 100cm=35cm$
For a right angle triangle using Pythagorus theorem we get,
$(Hypotenuse{)}^2=(side{)}^2+(side{)}^2$
$=(12{)}^2+(35{)}^2$
$=144+1225$
$=1369$
$Hypotenuse=$ $\sqrt{1369}=37cm$
