to find the missing side of a right triangle you need the pythagorean theorem. A2 + B2 = C2. c is the longest side and a and b is the other sides. no particular side is a or b just the longest side is c.

What is the right triangle if a12 and b13 what is c?
If the 13 is the longest side of that right triangle, then the missing side is 5 . If 'c' is the longest side of that right triangle, then the missing one is 17.692 (rounded).
Find the missing side of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 if one of the sides of the triangle is 5?

How do you find a missing side to a right triangle?
A triangle always has 180 units. You would have to add up the two sides and subtract that from 180.
How can pythagoream theorem be used to find a missing side length of a right triangle?
It can be found by: hypotenuse squared minus known side squared = unknown side squared
If you have a triangle one side is 7 cm and one side is 13 cm what is the length of the missing side?
I don't think there is enough information to answer the question, first of all, is it a right triangle? Second, is the the 13cm the hypotenuse. Assuming that 13cm is the hypotenuse, and the triangle is a right triangle, the equation would be 49+x^2=169
How do you find a missing side of a triangle?
The way to find the missing side of a triangle-THIS ONLY WORKS ON RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLES-is square both sides seperately and then add them together to give you the square of the missing side-find the square root and that is the size of the missing side-eg. if you have a RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE with sides of 3inch and 4inch then (3x3) + (4x4) = 25 so the square root of 25 is 5 meaning the missing side is 5inch.
How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.
How can you find a missing side or angle of a right triangle?
180 minus two known angle = missing angle. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find its missing side.
What is the right triangle if a12 and b13 what is c?
If the 13 is the longest side of that right triangle, then the missing side is 5 . If 'c' is the longest side of that right triangle, then the missing one is 17.692 (rounded).

What is the missing side of the right triangle called?
straight
What is the formula for perimeter of a right triangle when one side is missing?
Surely you know how to find the third side of a right triangle, when you know the lengths of the other two. Find it, and then add up the lengths of the three sides to get the perimeter.
How do you find a missing side to a right triangle?
A triangle always has 180 units. You would have to add up the two sides and subtract that from 180.
How do you find the missing side of a triangle with a perimeter of 40?
It depends on what is known about the triangle.
Find the missing length for a right triangle where the short side is 9 cm and the hypotenuse is 30cm?
The length of the other side is: 28.6 cm
Why is pythagorus theorem useful?
to find the missing side of a triangle
How can pythagoream theorem be used to find a missing side length of a right triangle?
It can be found by: hypotenuse squared minus known side squared = unknown side squared
