Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Given;
ABC is a Right angled triangle.
Taking angle "A" as reference angle, we get;
Perpendicular (p) = BC
hypotenuse (h) = 13cm
Base(b) = 8cm
We know;
[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]or; \: p(BC) = \sqrt{ {h}^{2} - {b}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] BC = \sqrt{ {13}^{2} - {8}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] BC = \sqrt{169 - 64} [/tex]
[tex] BC = \sqrt{105} [/tex]
[tex] BC = 10.246[/tex]
Therefore, BC = 10.246cm.
Hope it helps...
