उत्तर

Hypotenuse = p cm
One side = q cm
Let the length of the third side be x cm.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
x2 = p2 - q2 = (p + q)(p - q)
= (p ++ q) x 1   ...[∵ p - q = 1, given]
= p + q
∴ x = `sqrt("p" + "q")`
Thus, the length of the third side of the triangle is `sqrt("p" + "q")"cm"`.

From given figure, In ∆ABC, If AC = 12 cm. then AB =?


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)`
