In the right triangle AB, mc=90, a=4, and sinA=1/2. what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Given:

In a right angle triangle ABC, and .

To find:

The length of the hypotenuse.

Solution:

It is given that , so opposite side of this angle is the hypotenuse, i.e., c.

In a right angle triangle,

In the given triangle,

Substituting the given values, we get

By cross multiplication, we get

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 8 units.
