By using Pythagoras' theorem.
That's not actually an isosceles triangle. Isosceles triangles have two sides that are the same. However in general triangles are strong when used in the construction because they form naturally rigid shapes, which doesn't allow distortion of the angle.
The Pythgoren Theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. It is used for right triangles. The "c" is the length of the hypoteneuse, and "a" and "b" are the lengths of the two legs of the triangle. You use it by plugging in 2 dimensions that you know to find the third that you do not know.
Triangles don't have legs, legs implies the triangle's corners are perpendicular to a surface, this chnages the shape of the triangle into a origami shaped object like a small table, which can't exsist fully in 2D.
You can't. The hypotenuse alone isn't enough to tell you anything about the lengths of the legs. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse but different legs.
LEGS
the answer is 4
yes they are!
No because all right triangles have 2 legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg so right triangles can't be equilateral triangles.
true
Because that's how the architect designed them.
You use the Pythagorean theorem, which can only be applied to right triangles: a2+b2=c2, where a and b are the triangle's legs and c is the triangle's hypotenuse. Plug the two sides you know into the equation, then solve for the unknown side.
The two legs must be corresponding sides.
