You use the information you're given, combined with all of the equations, formulas,
and relationships you know concerning the parts of a right triangle, to find the item
of information that you don't know yet. So the process you follow depends on the
information you're given.
For example, if you're given the lengths of the two legs of the triangle, and you're
told that the triangle is a right triangle, then you use the Pythagorean equation
C2 = A2 + B2
to find the length of the hypotenuse.

In a right angle triangle where the two sides that form the right angle are both 10 calculate the length of the other side?
Pythagoras Theroem: a2 + b2 = c2Where a and b form a right angle and c is the hypotenus (longest side of a right angle triangle)=> 102 + 102 = c2{calculate the powers}=> 200 = c2{sqare root both sides}=> c = sqrt(200)c = sqrt(200) or 10*sqrt(2)
How do you calculate the length of a right angled triangle using the sine formulae?
The answer depends on what other information you have about the triangle.
How do you calculate the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle?
An isosceles right triangle will always have its shorter sides of the same length, and the hypotenuse will always be this length times sin(45o) or times the square root of 0.5.
How do you use sine in math?
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
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 calculate the hypotenus of a triangle -- not a right triangle.?
This is impossible, as a hypotenuse is only found on a right triangle.
The longest side of a right triangle?
It is the hypotenus.
What does Hypotenus mean?
The hypotenuse is the long side of a right triangle.
Why value of sin theata is in between 1 and -1?
2
How do you find the hypthoneus of the triangle?
Hypotenus is found in Right Angle triangles 90 Degrees
A right triangle is insribed in a circle of radius 3 the length of the hypotenus of the right triangle is?
Pythagoras! Two sides of the triangle must each be equal to the radius, ie 3 so Hypotenuse = sqrt(3^2 + 3^2) =sqrt 18 = 4.243
In a right angle triangle where the two sides that form the right angle are both 10 calculate the length of the other side?

What is the length of side x in the 45 45 90 triangle?
Use the hypotenus theorem. the side opposite the right angle squared is equal to each of the other 2 sides squared and then added together
A right triangle has a hypotenus eof the length 39 and a leg of length 15 What is is the leangth of the other leg?
With a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean formula. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 We will call the hypotenuse c and the leg a 15^2 + b^2 = 39^2 ( rearrange ) b = sqrt of 39^2 - 15^2 = 36
