How do you find the ratio of two adjacent side lengths in a parallelogram?

Exactly like with a rectangle. Divide the longer side by the shorter side and the ratio will be x : 1


How do you find which triangle if you know the lengths of the sides of a triangle whether it is isosceles or equilateral or scalene?

You look at the lengths of the sided of the triangle. If the two lengths are same, the triangle is an isosceles triangle. If all the lengths are same, the triangle is an equilateral triangle. If none of the lengths are same, the triangle is a scalene 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.


How do you find the peimeter of a triangle?

Measure the three lengths and add them together to find out the perimeter. adding its three sides


How do you find the volume of a 90 degree wedge?

First find the are of the 90 degree triangular end. This is 0.5*a*b where a and b are the two legs of the triangle adjacent to the right angle. Multiply the result by the length of the wedge.

Can you use the tangent ratio to find the length of the hypotenuse?

No; the tangent ratio only deals with the lengths of the opposite side and adjacent side. You can square the two sides and add them together, then find the square root of the sum to find the length of the hypotenuse.


How do you find the other angles of a right triangle?

Using the mathematical principles of trigonometry, you will need to know the lengths of any two of the sides of the right-angled triangle in order to calculate the other angles. The ratios of the lengths can be looked up in tables (or a scientific calculator may be used) to find the angle. The three sides of a right angled triangle have names as follows:- Hypotenuse - the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle Adjacent - the side next to the angle you wish to know Opposite - the side opposite the angle you wish to know The ratios are named as follows:- Sine - ratio of length of Opposite divided by length of Hypotenuse Cosine - ratio of length of Adjacent dived by length of Hypotenuse Tangent - ratio of length of Opposite divided by length of Adjacent These can be remembered by the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA Depending on which sides have the known lengths, calculate the ratio and look up the value for the angle in the Sine, Cosine or Tangent table as applicable. Once the value for one angle is known, the value for the other angle is 90 minus the value of the known angle.


How do you find ratio of a triangle?

The answer depends on what ratio of the triangle you are interested in.

How do you find the ratio of adjacent sides?

You divide the length of one adjacent side by the length of the other adjacent side.


Experiment with the Pythagorean theorem to find lengths of the adjacent sides of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 39 cm. The three sides should form a Pythagorean triad?

15 cm and 36 cm


Ratio of the angles in a triangle?

if the angle of a triangle are in the ratio 7:11:18,find the angle


How do you find the length of a triangle?

Find the perimeter by adding the lengths of the sides


How do you work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?

The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.


How do you find the perimeter to a triangle?

The perimeter of a triangle is the distance around it. Add the lengths of the three sides to find the perimeter.
