Is 7cm 11cm 15cm a right triangle?

No. 7 squared plus 11 squared does not equal 15 squared.


The area of a triangle is 45cm2 the base of the triangle is 6cm what is the height of the triangle?

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x altitude(height)On putting given values, we get45cm2 = 1/2 x 6cm x height(altitude)cm45 = 3 x altitudealtitude = 15 cmAnswer to the question is 15cm.

What is the missing length of the right triangle which measures 15 cm by 13 cm?

We don't know whether the 15cm happens to be the hypotenuse (longest side) of the right triangle. It makes a big difference. -- If the 15cm is the longest side, then the third side is 7.483 cm. (rounded) -- If the 13cm and the 15cm are the "legs", then the hypotenuse is 19.849 cm. (rounded)


The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 45 centimetersFind the length of an altitude?

Each side of the triangle is 45cm/3=15cm. The altitude divides the base into two equal segments of 7.5cm. This results in a right triangle with hypotenuse 15 cm and base 7.5cm. Pythagorus tells us a2+b2=c2 where a=altitude, b=base, c=hypotenuse. a2=c2-b2=152-7.52=225-56.25=168.75, a=12.99cm. Alternatively, the 3 angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees. The altitude divides one of these angles into two 30 degree angles. The cosine of 30 degrees is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. The adjacent side is the altitude. Thus a/c=cosine of 30 degrees, a=c X cos30 degrees = 15X0.866=12.99cm


What is the value of h in a right angled triangle with 31° and 15cm?

Following the symbols in the image: Assuming 15cm corresponds to a (the line adjacent to the angle), then you need to use the cosine formula cos(ø) = a/h cos(31º) = 15cm/h h*cos(31º) = (15cm/h) * h h*cos(31º) = 15cm * 1 h*cos(31º)/cos(31º) = 15cm/cos(31º) h*1 = 15cm/cos(31º) h = 16.398
