Best Answer

using the pythagoren therum, a squared +b squared=c squared, if you are finding the hypotenuse square the other to sides and divide the answer to get the length of the hypotenuse otherwise square the hypotenuse and the known side and subtract the known side squared from the hypotenuse squared to find the lenght of the unknown side squared

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when all three sides are given?

If you have the length of each of the three sides of a triangle, you can find the perimeter of (the distance around) the triangle by adding the length of the sides. Their sum will be the perimeter of this geometric shape.

That depends on what type of triangle is if the side given is equal to the perimeter divided by 3 then it is an equilateral triangle.

How do you find am angle in an irregular triangle when given two sides?

if it is given 3 sides for a irregular triangle and its two measures are given then we will take the un measured sides as x.if a triangle is of 3 sides then its 3 sides measure will be 180.lets take its one side be 60 and the other be 60. then we have to write like this-------- 60+60+x=180 120+x=180 x=180-120 x=60 like this we can find the measures of an irregular triangle when given two sides. MAY BE I DONT KNOW PROPERLY.SORRY. you are wrong.


How do you find the area of a triangle when the area is given but the base and height are not?

You don't need to find it. From what your question states the area is already given to you.


Can you find both sides of a triangle if the hypotenuse and perimeter is given?

Yes with a bit of give and take its sides can eventually be worked out.
