If in a right angled triangle the hypotenuse is four times as
long as the perpendicular drawn to it from opposite vertex,
then one of its acute angle is
A
B
C
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
If x is length of perpendicular drawn to it from opposite vertex of a right angled triangle, so, length of diagonal 
........(i)
From 
and from 
Put the values in equation (i), then 
.......(ii)
Since, length of hypotenuse = 4 (Length of perpendicular)
⇒ ⇒ 
⇒ ⇒ 
⇒ ⇒ 
⇒ ⇒
