The value of hypotenuse when te adjacent is 4cm and opposite 3cm

1 answer

To find the value of the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where:
c = hypotenuse
a = adjacent side
b = opposite side

Plugging in the given values:
c^2 = 4^2 + 3^2
c^2 = 16 + 9
c^2 = 25

Taking the square root of both sides:
c = √25
c = 5

Therefore, the value of the hypotenuse is 5cm.
