The "hypotenuse" firstly is the longest side of a triangle. This is where the perpendicular sides are joined together by a longer diagonal side. Now, to work out what the length of an hypotenuse, it is essential to know what "Pythagoras Theorem". This is the equation that A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are any side on the triangle other than the hypotenuse and C is the hypotenuse. To square a number, you just have to times it by itself, so if we square 10, it would be 10X10 which is a hundred. After you square A and B, you simply add them both together.

How do you determine the length of a right triange side?
by finding out the hypotenuse of the triangle

opposite^2+adjacent^2=hypotenuse^2 ____________ X=/hypotenuse^2 One decimal place would be, for example. 22.7 cm
When A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 14 What is the length of one of its legs?
14 radical2
If the shortest leg of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 12 what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Hypotenuse = 24
If the shortest leg of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 15 the length of the hypotenuse is?

How do you determine the length of a right triange side?
by finding out the hypotenuse of the triangle
How do you determine the length of the 3rd leg in a right triangle if you have the length of the other two legs?
A right triangle only has two legs, the third side is called the hypotenuse . The square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. The square root of the difference of the square of the hypotenuse and the square of one leg is equal to the length of the other leg.
What is the area of an isosceles right triangle whose hypotenuse is 12 2?
The length of the hypotenuse, alone, is not sufficient to determine the area of a triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 and the length of one leg is 12 what is the other length?
9
How do I find the length of the hypotenuse with one leg equalling 12 and the opposite angle being 30 degrees?
Rearrange the sine ratio of sine = opposite/hypotenuse: hypotenuse = opposite/sine hypotenuse = 12/sine 30 degrees = 24 Therefore the hypotenuse is 24 units in length.
What is the length of the median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the hypotenuse is 12 inches in length?
The median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle that is 12 inches in length is 6 inches.
How do you find the length of hypotenuse when the right triangle has an altitude?
All triangles have an altitude. In fact they all have three of them. Whether or not they have an altitude, the important thing when trying to determine the length of the hypotenuse is what information you have on the lengths of the sides. Altitudes, medians can help determine the lengths of sides, as can angles. You need a minimum of 3 pieces of information. There is only one in the question: the fact that the triangle has a right angle.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 and 8?
the length of the hypotenuse is 10.63
How can you find geometric figures in the world?
By working out the geometric length of Pythagoras' hypotenuse to correctly determine which adjacent window is in juxtaposition.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10 and the length of one leg is 8 what is the length of the other leg?
6

4.95
