How do you find the hypoteneuse of an isosceles right triangle?

It is very unlikely for a right angle triangle to be isosceles, however it is possible if the angles are 90, 45, and 45 degrees. It does not matter if the triangle is isosceles, this method works for all right triangles. The following formula is your answer, when h=hypotenuse, and a and b are other two sides. a2 + b2 = h2

You know base and angles how do I find height of isosceles triangle?
Use the sine rule to work out one of the sides. (a/sina = b/sinb = c/sinc) Then as it is an isosceles triangle the perpendicular dropped from the apex will (a) bisect the base and (b) form a right angle with the base. Now you know one side and the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle and you use Pythagoras (a2 + b2 = c2) to solve the 'other' side of that, which is the height of the isosceles triangle.
What is the leg of isosceles triangle if the base is 10 and area is 10?
An isosceles triangle is in effect two right angled triangles joined together and in this case they have bases of 5 units and heights of 2 units so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse which will be the length of one of the equal legs of the isosceles triangle:- 52+22 = 29 and the square of this is about 5.385164807 or 5.385 to 3 dp
How do you find height of isosceles triangle if you only know the length of equal sides and the base?
i can
An isosceles right triangle is inscribed in a circle Find the radius of the circle if one leg of the triangle is 8 cm?
First you half all the sides, so 4cm, them you multiply by pi, giving the radius as 12pi, or 12.56637061
Find length of the base if perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 70 in?
That's not enough information to solve the problem.
How do you find the measures of the angles in a right isosceles triangle?
If a triangle is an isosceles triangle as well as being a right-angled triangle, the size of the two angles (that are not right angles) are 45 degrees.
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.
What did Pythagoras find out?
Pythagoras found out that if a triangle is right-angled then the hypoteneuse (long side) squared = the other 2 sides squared and added together
The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is twice as large as one of the base angles Find the measure of the vertex angle?
90 degrees. This is an isosceles right triangle, standing on its hypotenuse.
How do you find the side of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in length
How do you find the hypotenuse of a rectangle?
You don't. A rectangle doesn't have a hypoteneuse, only a right-angled triangle has a hypoteneuse. As for the diagonal of a rectangle, you can draw it from any vertex to the opposite vertex. It's length is the square root of the sum of the squares of the longer and the shorter side-lengths.
How calculate angle in isosceles triangle?
use protractor, or divide isosceles triangle into two right triangles, and use trigonometric functions to find the angles individually (ONLY IF YOU HAVE ALL SIDE LENGTHS CAN YOU DO THIS)
How do you find the altitude of a right triangle of an isosceles triangle with370.5 equal sides and a 57 degree 24 sec angle?
A right triangle that is also isosceles cannot have an angle of 57 deg 24 sec unless it is in spherical - as opposed to plane, or flat - space.
How do you verify that a triangle is isosceles?
The step to verify an isosceles triangle is: 1) Find the intersection points of the lines. 2) Find the distance for each intersection points. 3) If 2 of the distance are the same then it is an isosceles triangle.
What does an isosceles acute triangle look like?
if you know what a acute triangle looks like and you know what a isosceles triangle looks like just combined them together and then find the angles and degrees you'll find what a acute isosceles triangle looks like if you got the degrees right and angles
What is the circumradius of an isosceles triangle?
To find the circumradius of an isosceles triangle, the formula is:1/8[(a^2/h)+4h]in which h is the height of the triangle and a is the base of the triangle.
How do the properties of an isosceles triangle an equilateral triangle and a right triangle how you find the measure of unknown angles?
It works out as: 180 minus the 2 known angles = unknown angle
