The value of x is 5 cm.
The Pythagoras theorem states that if a triangle is right-angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The Pythagoras theorem equation is expressed as, c2 = a2 + b2, where 'c' = hypotenuse of the right triangle and 'a' and 'b' are the other two legs. Hence, any triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.
example:
The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 16 units and one of the sides of the triangle is 8 units. Find the measure of the third side using the Pythagoras theorem formula.
Given : Hypotenuse = 16 units
Let us consider the given side of a triangle as the perpendicular height = 8 units
On substituting the given dimensions to the Pythagoras theorem formula
Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2
162 = B2 + 82
B2 = 256 - 64
B = √192 = 13.856 units
Given:
Two sides are 4 cm and 3 cm
Using Pythagoras theorem
x² = 4² + 3²
x² = 16+ 9
x² = 25
x=√25
x= 5 cm
Also, the range of x is in between 1 cm and 7 cm.
