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 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 length of the hypotenuse the triangle below?

To determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ), where ( c ) is the hypotenuse and ( a ) and ( b ) are the lengths of the other two sides. If you provide the lengths of those sides, I can help you calculate the hypotenuse.

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.
