Question: Find the length of the unknown side, correct to 3 decimals places if necessary.



A ) 4.256 cm
B ) 5.162 cm
C ) 6.428 cm
D ) 3.269 cm

Steps to derive

1 We can find the length of the unknown side of the right-angled triangle, using Pythagoras′ theorem.

2 The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
 [Pythagoras′ Theorem.]

3 (5.3)2 = (1.2)2 + r2
 [10 mm = 1 cm 1 mm = 110 cm
12 mm = 1210 cm = 1.2 cm]

4 28.09 = 1.44 + r2
 [(5.3)2 = 28.09 and (1.2)2 = 1.44]

5 28.09 - 1.44 = r2
 [Subtract 1.44 on both the sides.]

6 r2 = 26.65

7 r = 26.65
 [Take square root on both sides.]

8 So, r = 5.162 cm



Hence the right answer is Option B
