Quadrilaterals do have hypotenuses, but they aren't drawn in. They go through the middle of the quadrilateral diagonally.

Why the area of a triangle is half that of a parallelogram?

If you put two of ANY triangle hypotenuse to hypotenuse the shape will have 4 sides (thus a parallelogram or quadrilateral).


Is a hypotenuse equal to the sides of an equalateral triangle?

Yes. The equilateral triangle will have all sides with the same length. An equilateral triangle will ALSO be a equiangular, with each angle being 60 degrees. This fact does not extend to other polygons. An equilateral quadrilateral is a rhombus, while an equiangular quadrilateral is a square.


What is true about the diameter of a circle?

It is 1/pi times the circumference. A triangle with the diameter as its hypotenuse and the third point anywhere on the circle is always a right-angled triangle. A quadrilateral with all four corners on a circle is a cyclic quadrilateral. If one of its diagonals is a diameter of the circle, it has two right angles.


A quadrilateral has a width of 17cm and a length 26cm a diognal is 31cm is the quadrilateral a rectangle?

If the quadrilateral is a rectangle, the diagonal forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle with either pair of adjacent sides. Such a right triangle follows the Pythagorean theorem that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Calculation shows that the square root of the sum of the squares of the two sides is about 31.06449. Therefore, given the significant digits of the specified sides, the quadrilateral may be a rectangle, because the exact answer reduced to two significant digits is 31. If the sides were specified as 17.0000 and 26.0000, the figure would not be a strict rectangle, but would be very close to one.


What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has legs with lenghts of 5 and 4?

It's 6,40312. 4²+5²= hypotenuse ² 16+25=hypotenuse ² 41=hypotenuse ² |√ 6,40312=hypotenuse

How do you find the area of a quadrilateral if only of its four sides are known?

The only way to find the area is to have two sides to multiply them together unless you have the hypotenuse.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 5 inches and a height 12 inches?

Hypotenuse^2 = base^2 + height^2, substitute the given values Hypotenuse^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 25 + 144 Hypotenuse^2 = 169 Hypotenuse = √169 Hypotenuse = 13 Thus, the hypotenuse is 13 inches.
