The sine of an angle theta that is part of a right triangle, not the right angle, is the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. As a result, you could determine the hypotenuse by dividing the opposite side by the sine (theta)...
sine (theta) = opposite/hypotenuse
hypotenuse = opposite/sine (theta)
...Except that this won't work when sine (theta) is zero, which it is when theta is a multiple of pi. In this case, of course, the right triangle degrades to a straight line, and the hypotenuse, so to speak, is the same as the adjacent side.

By using trigonometry
How do you find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the legs of 12 and 14?
By using Pythagoras; theorem for a right angle triangle.
How do you find the hypotenuse of 45 45 90 right triangle?

How do you find the hypotenuse of triangle?
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
How do you find the hypotenuse of a triangle that has no right angles?
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
Find hypotenuse of right triangle of 300Cm and 400Cm?
The hypotenuse of right triangle of 300Cm and 400Cm is: 500 cm
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.
How do you find the altitude of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem: hypotenuse^2 minus base^2 = altitude^2
What is a hypotenuse of 6ft and 8ft find the lenght?
It is a right angle triangle and by using Pythagoras' theorem the length of its hypotenuse is 10 feet.
How do you find the base leg of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse and one acute angle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
How do you find hypotenuse?
By using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle or measuring its longest side
How do you find the hypotenuse to a triangle?
First of all, you have to make sure that it's a RIGHT triangle. That means that one of the angles in the triangle is 90 degrees. If not, then it's not a right triangle, and it doesn't have a hypotenuse. If it IS a right triangle, then the longest side is the hypotenuse.
