उत्तर
In a right-angled triangle ABC, if angle B = 90°, BC = 3 cm and AC = 5 cm, then the length of side AB is 4 cm.
Explanation:

In right angled ΔABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ...[By Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ 52 = AB2 + 32 ...[∵ AC = 5 cm and BC = 3 cm, given]
⇒ AB2 = 25 – 9
⇒ AB2 = 16
⇒ AB = `sqrt(16)`
⇒ AB = 4 cm

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
