Use Pythagoras' theorem of a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of a right angle triangle with c being its hypotenuse or longest side.

How do you find the length of a right angle?

the angle is an angle and therefore doesn't have a length. If you want to find the length of the hypotenuse - the leg across from the right angle - it is the square-root of the other two legs each squared.


How would you find the distance between thes bases if the right angle is the length of about 127.3 h?

a right angle or any other angle does not have a length. your question cannot be answered.

How do you find the degree when you know height and length?

To find the degree of an angle when you know the height and length of a right triangle, you can use the tangent function. The tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side (height) divided by the adjacent side (length). You can calculate the angle by taking the arctangent (inverse tangent) of the height divided by the length: ( \text{angle} = \tan^{-1}(\frac{\text{height}}{\text{length}}) ). This will give you the angle in degrees.


How do you find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the legs of 12 and 14?

By using Pythagoras; theorem for a right angle triangle.


Find hypotenuse only using opposite and angle?

In a right angles triangle the sides are named the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) and the other two sides are called the adjacent and the opposite sides. 1) The sine of an angle = length of the opposite side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. 2) The cosine of an angle = length of the adjacent side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. Using 1) The length of the hypotenuse = length of the opposite side ÷ the sine of the angle. Using tables or a calculator obtain the sine of the angle and divide this into the length of the opposite side. The result will be the length of the hypotenuse.

What do you do in trigonometry?

usually its used to find a missing angle or length of a right triangle. Of course there is more to trigonometry. any way you can use sine, cosine, and tangent, to fine the missing angle or length


How do you find the area of a right angle knowing only the hypotenuse?

One other angle or the length of one other side must also be known.
