A right triangle has hypotenuse p cm and one side q cm .if p-q=1,find the length of the third sides.

Answered by admin @



Answer:

\sqrt{(p+q)(p-q)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A right triangle has hypotenuse p cm and one side q cm

To Find :If p-q=1,find the length of the third sides.

Solution :

Hypotenuse = p cm

Base = q cm

Pythagoras theorem : Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2+Base^2

p^2 = Perpendicular^2+q^2

p^2 - q^2= Perpendicular^2

Identity : a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

(p+q)(p-q)= Perpendicular^2

\sqrt{(p+q)(p-q)}= Perpendicular

Hence Third side is \sqrt{(p+q)(p-q)}
