Since h^2 =a^2+b^2 and h=5 then a=2 and b=3 is a solution.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 5cm and 2.5cm is: 5.59cm
5cm
5cm
5cm Pythagoras: a2 = b2 + c2 a = hypotenuse, b & c are the other two sides. a2 = 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 52
30cm2
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 8 and 10 is: 12.81
The hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 35 and 68 is: 76.48
The square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c being the hypotenuse
The answer depends on whether the base is the hypotenuse or one of the smaller legs. If the base is the hypotenuse then its length is sqrt(7^2 + 5^2) = 8.6 cm approx. If the base is one of the legs of the right angle, then its length is sqrt(7^2 - 5^2) = 4.9 cm, approx.
The two legs squared and added together = the length of the hypotenuse's length squared
The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
You can't. The hypotenuse alone isn't enough to tell you anything about the lengths of the legs. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse but different legs.
