Find the hypotenue of a right triangle whose sides measure 6in 8in?

Because the 2 shorter sides are 6 and 8 in, and it is an right triangle, this is automatically a Pythagorean Triple. This is a 6-8-10 triangle, thus, the hypotenuse is 10 in.
Elsewise, you can find the answer using the plain Pythagorean Theroem:
62 + 82 = x2
36 + 64 = x2
100 = x2
10 = x

Can the sides of a right triangle measure 2cm 3cm 4cm?
Yes
What do sides of a triangle measure up to?
The sides of a triangle add up to the perimeter.
How do you work out the perimeter of a non right-angled triangle?
-- Measure or calculate the length of each of its 3 sides. -- Add the lengths of its 3 sides. -- The sum is the perimeter of the triangle.
Which type of triangle has three congruent sides and what do each measure?
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. The angles of an equilateral triangle measure 60 degrees each, but the sides can be any length.
How many pairs of equal sides does a right triangle have?
Unless it is a right isosceles triangle, a normal right triangle has no pairs of equal sides.
What could be the measure of the sides of a right triangle?
3, 4 and 5
Can the sides of a right triangle measure 2cm 3cm 4cm?
Yes
A triangle has sides that measure 3 cm 4 cm and 5 cm. What type of triangle is it?
This is a right angle triangle.
How many sides does a right triangle have?
Any triangle has three sides, whether it is a right triangle or not.
What do sides of a triangle measure up to?
The sides of a triangle add up to the perimeter.
How do you know if a triangle is a right triangle using the pythagorean therom?
We know that a right triangle is a triangle having a right angle, where the side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse, and the perpendicular sides are the legs of the right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangles. In the case where you know only the measure lengths of the sides of a triangle, you need to test these measures. If one of the sides of the triangle has a square measure equal to the sum of the square measures of two other sides, then this side is called the hypotenuse and opposite to this side is a 90 degree angle, which is a right angle. So, you can say that this triangle is a right triangle. Pythagorean triple are very helpful to determine a right triangle, such as: (3, 4, 5), (5,12,13), (8, 15, 17), (7, 24, 25), and (20, 21, 29).
How do you work out the perimeter of a non right-angled triangle?
-- Measure or calculate the length of each of its 3 sides. -- Add the lengths of its 3 sides. -- The sum is the perimeter of the triangle.
Who has more sides a right triangle or equilateral?
right triangle and equilateral triangle both have 3 sides
Which type of triangle has three congruent sides and what do each measure?
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. The angles of an equilateral triangle measure 60 degrees each, but the sides can be any length.
How many pairs of equal sides does a right triangle have?
Unless it is a right isosceles triangle, a normal right triangle has no pairs of equal sides.
Which is not a quadrilateral a rhobus a rectangle a right triangle or a trapezoid?
A right triangle is not a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, while a right triangle has only three sides.
What shape has three sides that are not equal but have a right angle?
with the three sides you know it will be a triangle, it is a right triangle, it is not an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle... so it must be a right scalene triangle
