Question:

In a right-angled triangle if the longest side is 26 cm and one of the other sides is 24 cm, find the length of the third side.

Options:

20 cm

18 cm

12 cm

10 cm

Correct Answer:

10 cm

Explanation:

We are given,

The length of two sides = 26 and 24

We know that,

Pythagoras Theorem=  H2 = B2 + P2

= 26² - 24² = P²

= P² = 100

= P = 10 cm
