उत्तर

Given: ∠ABC = 90°, AB = 5 cm, AC = 13 cm.

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

⇒ 52 + BC2 = 132

⇒ 25 + BC2 = 169

⇒ BC2 = 169 – 25 = 144

⇒ BC = `sqrt(144)` = 12

Hence, the length of side BC is 12 cm.

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.

*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)

Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`

∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.

∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`

∴ `square` + l2 = m2

∴ By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
