It depends on what other information you have. Knowing the lengths of two sides of a triangle is not enough to calculate the third. You need to have some further information: and angle, the area, the length of an altitude or a median.

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 perimeter of a triangle?
-- Measure or calculate the length of one side. -- Measure or calculate the length of another side. -- Measure or calculate the length of the only remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. The sum is the perimeter of the triangle.
What if youknow one length of a right triangle and not the other leg or hypotenuse?
If you also know the measure of one of the acute angles, you can calculate all of the missing pieces. But if you only know the length of the one leg and nothing else, then you don't have enough information to calculate anything else.
How do you calculate the area of an triangle?
length times width squared
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.

What is the formula for finding a missing side on a congruent triangle?
It is the same length as the corresponding side on the other triangle.
How do you calculate the area of an triangle?

How do you calculate area of a triangle using the length of the diagonal of a square?
It depends on the relationship between the triangle and the square!
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.
What is the area of a triangle with base 12cm and height?
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. To understand this, think of a rectangle or a square. To calculate the area of this object you would use length * width (which is the same as base * height). If you cut this object in half, you get a triangle. So that area of any triangle is 1/2 * base * height. I cannot answer your question because you are missing the triangle's height but you should be able to use the formula above to calculate the answer on your own.
Can Pythagorean Theorem can be used on any triangle to determine the length of a missing side?
yes
What is the missing side length of the triangle Round your answer to the nearest tenth?
Sorry wrong question
How do you calculate perimeter of a triangle?
-- Measure or calculate the length of one side. -- Measure or calculate the length of another side. -- Measure or calculate the length of the only remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. The sum is the perimeter of the triangle. ----------------------------------- The perimeter is the sum of all three sides. Sometimes it is unnecessary to compute each side length; all we care about is the sum.
