How do you find the length of the other two sides of a triangle when given a hypotenuse?
Unless you are given atleast 2 other angles, there is no way to find them out.
How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?
If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of a right triangle which goes between two given points?
Yes, the Euclidean distance is the length of the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle whose other two vertices are at the two given points.
HOW do you find the similar ratio of a triangle?
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.
How do you find the length of a right triangle with only 2 sides given?
Do the pythagorean theorem. Its A squared plus B squared=C squared. Do that to figure out the other side of the triangle

What can you solve in the Pythagorean theorem?
Given the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, you can find the length of the other side.
HOW do you find the similar ratio of a triangle?
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.

How do you describe the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle when the other tw sides are given?
The length of the third side must be greater than the difference between the length of the two given sides and it must be less than the sum of the two given sides. These limits can be derived from the fact that any two sides of a triangle must have a combined length greater than the third side.
When A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 20 and a leg of length 12 what is the length of the other length?
The other leg length is 16.
How do you find an angle within a non-right angled triangle when only given one side length?
You cannot find any angle, or either of the other two sides, in a non-right triangle, when given only one side.
Can 1 3 5 be the side lengths of a right triangle?
No, because the biggest length (hypotenuse) has to be equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides, which it is not
Pythagoras determined that the length of any side of an is based on the length of its other two sides?
right triangle
How do you find the area of a triangle with side lengths?
If you are only given the side lengths of a scalene triangle, it is impossible for you to find for the area, unless you are given more information... like the height of the triangle for example. If this is a right triangle you would like to find the area of, you can multiply the length of each leg with each other, and then divide that product by 2 to conclude the area of the triangle.
