Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).

A side of a right triangle that is not the hypotenuse?
Its base or its height
How can you find the height of a right triangle when you have the base and hypotenuse?
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?
If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle
How do you work out the base of an isosceles triangle?
Using trigonometry. The Hypotenuse x The height
How do you find the perimeter of a isoscles triangle all you know is the base and height?
-- Imagine what you have if you slice the triangle in half along the height ...-- You have a right triangle. One side of it is 1/2 of the base, and one side isthe height.-- The slanting side is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and knowing whatyou know about right triangles, you can calculate its length.-- Once you do that, you have the lengths of all three sides of the original triangle,and you can calculate the perimeter.
How do you find the base and height of a triangle if you only have the hypotenuse?
I'm pretty sure that only works if it is an isosceles right triangle. In that case, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the base and height knowing only the hypotenuse. A2 + B2 = C2. A=B= height= base. C= hypotenuse
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with a base of 300 mm and 500 mm height?
The hypotenuse of a triangle with a base of 300 mm and 500 mm height is: 583.1 mm
A side of a right triangle that is not the hypotenuse?
Its base or its height
How can you find the height of a right triangle when you have the base and hypotenuse?
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 24 inches and height of 10 inches?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 24 inches and height of 10 inches is: 26 inches.
How can you find the base of a right triangle when you have the height and hypotenuse?
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a 13 centimeters base and a 6 centimeters height?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a 13 cm base and a 6 cm height is 14.32 cm
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 3 feet and a height of 12 feet?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 3 feet and a height of 12 feet is: 12.37 feet.
How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?
If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
How do you work out the base of an isosceles triangle?
Using trigonometry. The Hypotenuse x The height
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 10 feet and a height of 10 feet?
The hypotenuse is 14.14 feet.
