Some questions and their alternative answers are given. Select the correct alternative.

In a right-angled triangle, if sum of the squares of the sides making right angle is 169 then what is the length of the hypotenuse?


Given,


Sum of the squares of the sides making right angle = 169


⇒ (base)2 + (perpendicular)2 = 169


But we know, By Pythagoras's theorem


(Hypotenuse)2 = (base)2 + (Perpendicular)2


⇒ (Hypotenuse)2 = 169


⇒ Hypotenuse = 13 units.
