In HA theorem stand for hypotenuse and?
In the HA theorem A stands for angle. HA is a specific case of ASA, because if you know the angle A, then the other angle is (90-A).
If a right triangle has legs with lengths of 25cm and 37cm what is the length of the hypotenuse?
This is a really good question. The formula to solve this problem is called the Pythagorean Theorem.The Pythagorean Theorem says that a2+b2=c2.The variables a and b stand for the sides of the triangle that are NOT the hypotenuse.The variable c stands for the hypotenuse.In your case, the problem would look likea2+b2=c2252+372=c2625+372=c2625+1369=c21994=c2To find what c by itself is, you will take the square root of 1994, which comes out to 44.654227123532213252060015382727.Thus, the sides of the triangle are 25cm, 37cm, and about 44.7cm.This process will work on any right triangle, but will NOT work on non-right triangles.Good luck!
What does the d stand for in a size 10 D in shoes?
The D stands for the width, shoes come in diferent widths and lengths. They come in D to 4D, 4D being wider.
What is a sas triangle?
In trigonometric geometry, an SAS triangle is an acronym which stands for "side angle side". This means that two of the lengths of the sides have been specified, and one of the angles, and you have to find the length of the remaining side.

What does the IVT acronym stand for?
The acronym "IVT" stands for something. It stands for Intermediate Value Theorem. This is a mathematical formula that can be used to solve an equation.
How do you calculate the height of an equilateral triangle given the lengths of all 3 sides?
Half the length of one side multiplied by (square root of 3)/(2). in triangle ABC with height H: (A•sqrt3)/2 or A (sqrt3)/2 This is because of the Pythagorean theorem. You draw a line from the top vertex of the triangle vertically to the bottom side. This line is perpendicular to the bottom side and it will bisect that side. Now you want to know the length of your new line. On each side of it, you have a smaller triangle, one side with the length of the side of the original triangle (let's call it s) and one side with length half that, (1/2)s. Since the side with length s will be the hypotenuse of the triangle, we know s2 = (s/2)2 + h2 by the Pythagorean theorem. (h stands for height.) s2 = s2/4 + h2 s2 (1-1/4) =h2 s2(3/4) =h2 (sqrt3)s/2 = h
Is BSE TES if so identify the postulate of theorem that applies?
BSE TES stands for Balance Scale Equivalence Teorem Theorem Exposing Strategy. It is not clear what postulate or theorem is being referred to in this context, as the abbreviation does not match any commonly known mathematical postulates or theorems.
