A right triangle with sides in length of 3,4, and 5 has a hypotenuse of length 5. It's the best example because all the numbers are whole (integers) and its the smallest of its kind.

How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when only a side length and angle is given?

Dependent on what side you are given you would use Sin(Θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse just rearrange the formula to Hypotenuse = Opposite/Sin(Θ). Or if you are given the adjacent side use Cosine(Θ)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, then: Hypotenuse = Adjacent/Cosine(Θ)


How do you measure the angles of a right triangle?

If you know the side lengths, then you can use sin(Θ) = (Opposite)/(Hypotenuse), so Θ = Sin-1(Opposite/Hypotenuse), for example. You could get close to the number of degrees in an angle with a protractor.


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.

Use Pythagoras' theorem...a2 + b2 = c2where c is the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.


If the legs of an isosceles right triangle are 6 units long What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Archimedes theorem says "the square of the hypotenuse is equal to sum of the squares of the other two sides" so in this example: hypotenuse2 = 62 + 62 = 72 hypotenuse = square root of 72 = 8.485 Alternately: Sin 45o = opposite/hypotenuse = 6/hypotenuse So hypotenuse = 6/sin 45 = 6/0.707 = 8.485

A hypotenuse should not be shorter than a leg length.
