The hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side. The hypotenuse of the right triangle measured 5 inches. In the formula "a2 + B2 = C2, the hypotenuse is always C.
base squared times height squared equals the hypotenuse squared. then you know the hypotenuse.
A hypotenuse is the longer and slanting side of a right triangle. So based on that here are some sentences made by yours truly! :) "The hypotenuse of this triangle is 36, correct?" Colleen verified, her voice unsure. Pointing at the overhead projector, Mr. Franco said,"This longer side of this right triangle is called the hypotenuse; For more information, please see your textbook. "
Kitty-corner is another term for diagonal. A right triangle's hypotenuse is on a diagonal. On a keypad, the five is on a diagonal from the nine.
Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
Dependent on what side you are given you would use Sin(Θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse just rearrange the formula to Hypotenuse = Opposite/Sin(Θ). Or if you are given the adjacent side use Cosine(Θ)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, then: Hypotenuse = Adjacent/Cosine(Θ)
I'm assuming Pythagorus - hence the Pythagorean Theorem of which you use to figure the length of the hypotenuse.
That is it. Just the hypotenuse - provided you have the correct triangle.
Use Pythagoras' theorem...a2 + b2 = c2where c is the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.
Depending on the information given;- If two other(shorter) sides are known, use Pythagoras. h^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2) If one angle and one side are given then you use Trigonometry . Sin(angle) = opposite/ hypotenuse hypotenuse = opposite/Sin(angle) or Cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse hypotenuse = adjacent/ Cos(Angle).
hypotenuse, hypotenuse
In a right triangle, its Opposite/Hypotenuse I always use: Soh (sin, opposite/hypotenuse) Cah (cosine, adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa (tangent, opposite/adjacent) Hope this helped! :)
