In the given triangle, the length of BC is 10.25 cm
From the question, we are to determine the length BC
The triangle is a right triangle, then we can write that
/AB/² = /AC/² + /BC/² (Pythagorean theorem)
From the given information,
/AB/ = 13 cm
/AC/ = 8 cm
Putting the parameters into the equation, we get
13² = 8² + /BC/²
169 = 64 + /BC/²
/BC/² = 169 - 64
/BC/² = 105
/BC/ = √105
/BC/ = 10.25 cm
Hence, the length of BC is 10.25 cm
