In a right-angled triangle AOB, right angled at 0, OA = 13 cm and OB = 9 cm. Find AB and express it as a simplified surd. About the author Faith
Step-by-step explanation: In a ∆AOB AO (Perpendicular) = 13cm OB (Base) = 9 cm By Pythagoras theorem H² = P² + B² (AB)² = (AO)² + (OB)² (AB)² = (13)² + (9)² (AB)² = 169 + 27 (AB)² = 196 AB = ✓196 AB = 14 cm Reply
Step-by-step explanation:
In a ∆AOB
AO (Perpendicular) = 13cm
OB (Base) = 9 cm
By Pythagoras theorem
H² = P² + B²
(AB)² = (AO)² + (OB)²
(AB)² = (13)² + (9)²
(AB)² = 169 + 27
(AB)² = 196
AB = ✓196
AB = 14 cm
