How do you find the other sides when the hypotenuse of a right triangle is given?

If all you're given is the hypotenuse, then you can't figure out any more information. If you had the length of one more side you could use Pythagoras's Theorem a2+ b2= c2to find the other side, or if you were given an angle other than the right angle, you could use SOH CAH TOA to calculate the length of another side. With just the hypotenuse, nothing more can be found.

Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?
No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.
If the legs of a right triangle are Cm and Cm find its hypotenuse?
No dimensions have been given but to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle use Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the other side of the right triangle?
hypotenuse
What is the name given to the longest side of a right angled triangle?
A hypotenuse.
How do you find area of a 90 degree triangle with hypotenuse only?
The hypotenuse only is not sufficient to determine the area of a right triangle, unless the triangle is stated to be isosceles, or there is some other information that allows determination of the length of a side in addition to the hypotenuse. The area of a right triangle with a given hypotenuse only approaches zero as one of the two acute angles approaches zero degrees.

How do you determine what side of the triangle is the hypotenuse?
Given a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side or simply the side opposite the 90o angle.
What is the other side of the right triangle?
hypotenuse

Why is the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle and is opposite the right angle. It is always longer than the other two sides of the triangle. This is because the length of the hypotenuse is determined by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
A right triangle with one leg 2.968 and other leg 3.504 will have a hypotenuse of?
A right triangle with one leg 2.968 and other leg 3.504 will have a hypotenuse of 4.592
How can you identify the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
A right triangle, by definition, has a right (or 90o) angle. The side that is opposite that right angle is the hypotenuse. That is to say, the other two sides, which are not the hypotenuse, are the two sides which meet at a right angle.
How do you find sides of right triangle given only the hypotenuse and all angles?
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
Is it better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
Yes.
What name is given to the line opposite the right angle in any right angle triangle?
The Hypotenuse.
