We know that in a right-angled triangle: (Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular Height)² +(Base)²

Given: Base=6cm, and side opposite to right angle triangle is termed as Hypotenuse, therefore, Hypotenuse =10 cm.

(Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular Height)² +(Base)²

=> (P)² = (H)² -(B)²

=> (P)² = (10)² – (6)²

=> (P)² = 100 -36

=> (P)² = 64

=> (P) = √64

=> (P)² = 8 cm

Hence, the Height of the right angle triangle = 8 cm
