Pythagoras Theorem
This theorem states that, In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of the other two sides.
Normally, to solve for right angled triangles, we use Pythagoras theorem.
As we went through the concept about Pythagoras theorem, Now Let's, move on finding the solution for our question.
We have been given that, Two perpendicular sides of a right angled triangle are 12 cm and 35 cm respectively. And We have been asked to find the hypotenuse.

Given,
We know that,
[tex]{\boxed{\bullet\:{AB^2\:+\:BC^2\:=\:AC^2}}}[/tex]
Substituting values in Formula, we get,
[tex]\sf\implies{AB^2\:+\:BC^2\:=\:AC^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies{(12)^2\:+\:(35)^2\:=\:AC^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies{144\:+\:1225\:=\:AC^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies{1369\:=\:AC^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies{AC\:=\:{\sqrt{1369}}}[/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies{AC\:=\:37\:cm}[/tex]
Hence, the hypotenuse in the right angled triangle ABC is 37 cm.
