In the given figure, O is the point inside a ∆MNP such that ∆MOP = {90^0}.OM = 16 cm and OP = 12 cm if MN = 21cm and ∆NMP = {90^0} then NP=?
In the given figure, O is the point inside a ∆MNP such that ∆MOP = {90^0}.OM = 16 cm and OP = 12 cm if MN = 21cm and ∆NMP = {90^0} then NP=?

Answer:

 

 

In right triangle MOP,

By using Pythagoras theorem,

????????2 = ????????2 + ????????2

=> 122 + 162

=> 144 + 256

=> 400

MO = 20 cm

In right triangle MPN,

By using Pythagoras theorem,

????????2 = ????????2 + ????????2

=> 212 + 202

=> 441 + 400

=> 841

MP = 29 cm
