The longest side in a right triangle is 24 cm, and the second longest side is 20 cm. Find the length of the shortest side.

13.27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is always the longest side so:

a^2 + 20^2 = 24^2

a^2 + 400 = 576

a^2 = 176

a = 13.27

the answer i think is a)

step-by-step explanation:

option a, c,d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

from the given figure, it is given that z is equidistant from the sides of the triangle rst, then from triangle tzb and triangle szb, we have

tz=sz(given)

bz=zb(common)

therefore, by rhs rule,δtzb ≅δszb

by cpctc, sz≅tz

also, from δctz and δasz,

tz=sz(given)

∠tcz=∠saz(90°)

by rhs rule, δctz ≅ δasz, therefore by cpctc, ∠ctz≅∠asz

also,from δasz and δzsb,

zs=sz(common)

∠zbs=∠saz=90°

by rhs rule, δasz ≅δzsb, therefore, by cpctc, ∠asz≅∠zsb

hence, option a, c,d are correct.
