Pythagorean Theorem Determine Right Triangles

A 2.5m long ladder leans against the wall of a building. The base of the ladder is 1.5m away from the wall. What is the height of the wall?

• 2 cm

• 8 m

• 2 m

• 5 m

PQ is the base of a right angled triangle... RQ is the height of the right angled triangle... Then, determine the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

• PQR

• RQP

• QP

• PR

Calculate

• 4

• 8

• 7.6

• 8.6

• 7.5 cm

• 9 cm

• 21 cm

• 27 cm

The hypotenuse in this image is

• a

• b

• c

The opposite to angle 'b' is

• 3

• 4

• 5

• a

The hypotenuse is always.............

• The right angle side

• The shortest side

• The longest side

• On the outside

Which set of sides would make a right triangle?

• 4,5,6

• 8,10,12

• 5,12,13

• 5,10,12

a² + b² = c^{2
a = 9 b = 40}

• c = 41

• c = 65

• c = 25

• c = 5
