If you have a data set, simply take the square root of the sum of the squares of the data points. Let's say you have three numbers a, b, and c. RSS = SQRT(a2 + b2 + c2).

to find the root-sum square of n numbers you square each number, add them, then take square root of sum

For exanple root sum square of 2,3, and 4 is square root of (4+9+16) = sqrt(29) = 5.39

Calculate the length of the hypotenuse?

The length of the hypotenuse is equal to the root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides.


Is a Angle A of a right triangle measures 30 Side b measures 57 yd Find the measures of the parts of the right triangle that are not given?

Concerning right triangles: "A" squared, plus "B" squared, equals "C" squared. Just square your "known measurements", and add them together. Then find the square root of the sum you've found.


If you have the width and height of a triangle how do you get the third length?

Really you don't have enough data to calculate this.The height is not necessarily one of the three sides. The height is perpendicular to the width.If the triangle has a right angle, and you know two of the sides, you can calculate the third side using the rule of Pythagoras (a squared + b squared = c squared).Really you don't have enough data to calculate this.The height is not necessarily one of the three sides.

Formula for surface area of a pyramid?

The surface area is length times width plus length. Then you find the square root of the width divided by two and then squared. You add this to the height squared plus the width. The width is multiplied by the square root of 1/2 squared plus the height squared.


Diagonal of a square whose area is 36?

The diagonal of a square whose area is 36 is the square root of 72, or about 8.49. Since the area of a square is side(squared), then the sides are each 6. Then since a(squared) + b(squared) = c(squared), for a triangle (the diagonal), you get the square root of 72.

How do you calculate r?

First, get the product of the summation of x squared and y squared and then find its square root. Divide the summation of x and y by the square root to get Pearson's r.

How do you calculate square root of 500?

Deductive reasoning, trial and error. The square root of 500 will be between 22 and 23, closer to 22. 22.3 squared is 497.29 22.36 squared is 499.97


The sum of the square root of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the third side. what famous geometric principle sounds like what this is trying to say?

This is the Pythagorean Theorem, except for it is is supposed to be the sum of the two legs squared on a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse squared. a2+b2=c2


How do you calculate a hypotenuse?

You calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle using the following formula : a squared + b squared = c squared. (C is hypotenuse and A and B are legs) If the other sides are both one inch long, then the hypotenuse is the square root of 2.


Why cant the hypotenuse of a right triangle be 20 meters when the legs are 11 and 5 metes?

The hypotenuse is the suare root of the sum of squares of the two legs. 11 squared is 121 and 5 squared is 25 so sum of legs squared is 121 + 25 = 146 The square root of 146 is 12 something and not 20 so the hypotenuse cannot be 20


When adding two vectors at right angles is the resultant of the vectors the algebraic sum of the two vectors?

No. Vectors add at rightangle bythe pythagoran theorem: resultant sum = square root of (vector 1 squared + vector 2 squared)


What is the square root of square plus b squared?

Unfortunately the first term to be squared is not given. However, if the question was about a2 + b2, I regret that there is no simplification. You simply have to calculate the two squares, add them and take the square root.


What is the length of a diagonal of a square with side 10 inches?

Pythagoras' theorem shows the side you are looking for, the hypotenuse of the right angles triangle is the root of the sum of the other two sides, so it is root(10 squared+ 10 squared)= root(200)=10*root2 or 14.1421356 inches


How do you calculate for arriving square root of 625?

Since the number ends in 5, the square root (if an integer) will end in 5. 15 squared is too low, 35 squared is too high. 25 x 25 = 625
