a2+b2=c2
Example:
a=4
b=3
4 times 4= 16
3 times 3= 9
16+9= 25
square root of 25= 5
hypotenuse= 5

Who found the length of the hypotenuse?
I'm assuming Pythagorus - hence the Pythagorean Theorem of which you use to figure the length of the hypotenuse.
A hypotenuse is found only on a right triangle?
correct
How do you calculate the length of the opposite and adjacent sides in a right angle triangle if you know the length of the hypotenuse and the angle between the adjacent and hypotenuse?
the sides can be found out by using trignometry.. sines and cosines.. sine of an agle is perpendicular/hypotenuse cosine of an angle is base/hypotenuse..
Found in a right triangle this is the side opposite the right angle?
The hypotenuse
Where is the longest side of the right triangle found?
Opposite side of the right angle which is the hypotenuse
What is the length of a hypotenuse?
A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
What is the length of the hypotenuse?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found by using the formula: a2 + b2 = c2 and solving for c. a and b are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle. the length of the hypotenuse is the c^2 of the a^2+b^2=c^2
How do you calculate the hypotenus of a triangle -- not a right triangle.?
This is impossible, as a hypotenuse is only found on a right triangle.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has legs with lenghts of 5 and 4?
It's 6,40312. 4²+5²= hypotenuse ² 16+25=hypotenuse ² 41=hypotenuse ² |√ 6,40312=hypotenuse
What is a cosign in math?
If you mean cosine then it is angle ratio found in a right angle triangle which is adjacent/hypotenuse
What is the Name of the opposite side of a right angle?
The Hypotenuse, which also happens to be the longest side, and can be found using the formula:a^2+b^2=c^2where a and b are the other two sides, and c is the hypotenuse.
The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse.?
The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle and it is opposite the right angle. It is always opposite the right angle and is found by using the Pythagorean theorem.
