Using Pythagoras' theorem it is about 26.382 cm rounded to 3 decimal places.
Its exact value is the square root of 696.

In a right triangle the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the?
pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2 (only in right triangles) c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two legs.
The length of one leg of a right triangle is 10ft and the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg What is the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg?
If the other leg has length X. Knowing the rule for triangles a^2+b^2=c^2 and that hypotenuse is x+2 10^2 + X^2 = (X+2)^2 you can solve to find X = 24 and the hypotenuse is 26.
Will a pattern of right triangles and squares tessellate?
Yes. Consider the situation when: the right-angled triangles are also isosceles and the hypotenuse (longest side) of the triangles is equal to the side of the square. If you surround a square with four of right-angled triangles (the sides of the square being in contact with the hypotenuses of the triangles), you get a larger shape which is also a square. Taking this as a basic unit, you can make a tesselations. You can also make tessalations if you have two sets of squares, one with sides the same length of the hypotenuse of the triangles and one with sides the same length as the smaller sides of the triangles.
When a circle is drawn through each vertex of a right triangle the triangles hypotenuse will be equal to what?
The length of the circle's diameter
A right triangles hypotenuse has length 5 if one leg has length 2 what is the length of the other leg?
Use Pythagoras' theorem: 52-22 = 21 and the square root of this is 4.582575695 or about 4.6 units in length
A right triangle has leg lengths 5 and 12 the length of the triangles hypotenuse h is?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 13 units
How do you solve 45 45 90 triangles?
-- The length of each leg is (length of the hypotenuse) / sqrt(2) = 0.7071 x (hypotenuse). -- The length of the hypotenuse is (length of either leg) x sqrt(2) = 1.414 x (leg)
What is a cosine?
In trigonometry, when we look at right triangles, the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.
How do you find the length of the sides of a right triangle given the hypotenuse?
You can't. You need some more information. If you only know the length of the hypotenuse, you can draw an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse.
In a right triangle the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the?
pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2 (only in right triangles) c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two legs.
A leg of a right triangle is 30 meters longand the hypotenuse is 35 meters long. what is the length of the other leg?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 5 times sq rt of 13 or about 18 meters in length
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 17 and a leg 11 what is the are of the triangles?
The area is 71.29 square units
Can you make a rectangle out of two triangles and a square?
Sure, place a triangle's hypotenuse (longest side) on the other triangle's hypotenuse, that will give either a square or a rectangle. Then place the square on one end of the rectangle. For this to work though, the length of the square's side HAS to equal the length of the triangles hypotenuses, and likewise each triangle's hypotenuse much equal the length of a side of the square. Hope this is clear.
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles?
No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D
How do you calculate the length of a side of a triangles?
Well, there are 3 sides, and if you are given the length of 2 of the 3 sides, you can calculate the other one. The longest side of the triangle is called the "Hypotenuse" and to calculate the hypotenuse you take the lengths of the other sides, square each of them, then add. Take the square root of the answer and that is the length of the hypotenuse. Now if you have the length of the hypotenuse and either of the other two sides, take the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the other known side, square each of them, add them, then the square root of the sum will equal the remaining side.
What is the length of the hypotenuse c of the following right angle triangles?
0. Since the "following" triangle is too small to be seen, its sides must be of length 0.
The length of one leg of a right triangle is 10ft and the length of the hypotenuse is 2 ft longer than the other leg What is the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg?
If the other leg has length X. Knowing the rule for triangles a^2+b^2=c^2 and that hypotenuse is x+2 10^2 + X^2 = (X+2)^2 you can solve to find X = 24 and the hypotenuse is 26.
