base squared times height squared equals the hypotenuse squared.
then you know the hypotenuse.

When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle and the?
That is it. Just the hypotenuse - provided you have the correct triangle.
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the of a right triangle.?
hypotenuse
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of what of a right triangle?
Its hypotenuse
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the what of a right triangle?
The hypotenuse
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the of a right triangle?
hypotenuse
How do you measure a hypotenuse?
Use Pythagoras' theorem...a2 + b2 = c2where c is the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.
When you use the Distance Formula you are building a right triangle whose hypothenuse goes between two given points?
hypotenuse, hypotenuse
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the blank of the right triangle?
hypotenuse.
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the blank of a right triangle?
hypotenuse.
What is the formula for sine function?
In a right triangle, its Opposite/Hypotenuse I always use: Soh (sin, opposite/hypotenuse) Cah (cosine, adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa (tangent, opposite/adjacent) Hope this helped! :)
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)
When to use Pythagoras?
In a right angle triangle,pythagoras theorem can be used if (1)the 2 sides are equal and their measure is less than the hypotenuse (or) (2)the 2 sides are different and their measure is less than the hypotenuse.
