Measure each of the other sides, and multiply each by itself (square them). Add the two squared sides. Then find the square root of that combined number. That is the length of the long side. If the short sides are 3 and 4, that would be 3x3=9, 4x4=16. 9+16= 25. Square root of 25 is 5- length of the long side (called the hypotenuse)

How do you find the long leg of a 30 60 90 right triangle?
First you're going to need to know some more information. Let's say the short leg of the triangle is 4 inches.To find the long leg you would use the formula:short leg * the square root of 3= long legtherefore the long leg would equal 4*the square root of 3 inchesIf you want to find the length of the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle, or the diagonal) you would multiply the short leg by 2short leg*2=hypotenusetherefore the hypotenuse is 8 inchesso the side lengths would be:short leg: 4 in, long leg: 4*squrt of 3 in, and hypotenuse: 8 in
One leg of a right triangle is 1 ft long and the hypotenuse measures 2 ft long Find the length of the other leg?
