Answer:
[tex]c^2=5^2+2^2[/tex]
Equation (1) is used to find the length of hypotenuse.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A right angled triangle ABC with base 5 ft and perpendicular 2 ft
we have to find the equation that can be used to find the length of hypotenuse.
Consider the given triangle ABC,
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM states that in a right angled triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of perpendicular and base.
That is [tex]H^2=B^2+P^2[/tex]
Here, B is base
and P is perpendicular.
Put base 5 ft and perpendicular 2 ft and hypotenuse c, we get,
[tex]c^2=5^2+2^2[/tex]
Thus, Equation (1) is used to find the length of hypotenuse.
