Correct Answer - Option 2 : 10 cm
Given:
A right-angled triangle
Length of Base = 8 cm
Length of perpendicular = 6 cm
Formula used:
In a right-angled triangle
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2
Calculation:
According to formula,
⇒ (Hypotenuse)2 = 82+ 62
⇒ (Hypotenuse)2 = 64 + 36 = 100
⇒ Hypotenuse = √100 = 10 cm
∴ The length of the hypotenuse is 10 cm.
