What is one of the two shorter sides of a right triangle?
Leg!
What name is given to the two sides of the triangle that form the right angle?
The two shorter sides are the legs.
What are the legs of a right triangle?
They are the two shorter sides which meet to form the right angle.
What are the two shorter sides of a triangle called?
The legs.
How do you find the two shorter sides of a triangle when all you know if the hypotenuse and nothing else?
If it has an hypotenuse then it is a right angle triangle and if you know its angles then use trigonometry to find its other two sides.
The two shorter side of a right triangle are known as?
The short sides of a right triangle are the legs.
What is one of the two shorter sides of a right triangle?
Leg!
What name is given to the two sides of the triangle that form the right angle?

Either of the two shorter sides of a right triangle?
Is called a leg.
What are the two shorter sides of a triangle called?

If it has an hypotenuse then it is a right angle triangle and if you know its angles then use trigonometry to find its other two sides.
What is a triangle that has two angles that are 30 each and two shorter sides that is the same?
isosceles triangle
What is the length of the longest side of a right angled triangle if two shorter sides are 3cm and 4cm?
5 cm
What are the three side of triangle?
They are just "sides." They usually do not have given names, unless you have a right triangle, in which the two shorter sides are called legs and the longest side (side opposite the right angle) is called the hypotenuse.
Can you determine the type of a triangle by just knowing it's sides?
Yes. The three sides uniquely specify the triangle. If all three sides are equal it is equilateral. If only two are equal it is isosceles. If none are equal it is scalene. If the sum of the squares of the two shorter lengths is equal to the square of the longest length, it is a right angled triangle. If the sum of the squares on the two shorter sides is less than the square on the longest, it is an obtuse angled triangle. Otherwise it is an acute triangle.
If a triangle has 7cm and 16cm what is the area?
56 cm2 * * * * * Only if these are the shorter legs of a right angled triangle and there is no justification for making that assumption. Two sides of a triangle are not sufficient to determine its area.
