One side of a right-angled triangle is 126 cm. The difference between the hypotenuse and the other side is 42 cm. The length of the hypotenuse is

• Length of hypotenuse is 210.
  
  Solution-
  Let hypotenuse is x and another side is y.
  According to question x-y=42. So, y = x-42.
  For a right-angled triangle, x^2= 210^2+y^2.
  Substitute y in above equation, on solving we get x=210.

• Ans is 210
  Consider hypotaneous is Y
  therefore Other side is Y-42
  And third side is given 126
  By pythagoras thm
  Y^2=126^2+(Y-42)^2
  By solving we get,
  Y=(126^2+42^2)/84
  Which gives
  Hypotaneous Y=210
