The triangle ABC is right-angled with a right angle at C. The height CD has a length of 5 units of length (D lies on the side AB), and the distance AD has a length of 7 units of length. Determine and state the length of the hypotenuse.
According to given data:
Let x= remaining part of hypothenuse
b= base and
p= perpendicular
as CD is height of triangle
So, CD will be perpendicular
