We can use pythagoras' theorem to solve this. Make the shortest side, (A), the next longest side (B) and the longest side (C). Then square all the measurements : A2 + B2 = C2. So the length of C will be given to you in a squared number, so simply use the square root of that number for the length. You can then rearrange the formula to get the length of the side you want, if you're not looking for C.

How do you find the side length of a right triangle if you have one side length?
One side is not enough. For a right triangle the third side can be calculated by Pythagoras' Theorem if you know the length of any two sides.
How does the Pythagorean Theorem work?
The Pythagorean Theorem explains (or permits calculation of) the length of one side of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are known. A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the three angles is a right angle (i.e. it has 90 degrees) For that kind of triangle, if A = the length of one of the sides making the right angle, B = the length of the other side making the right triangle, and C = the length of the side opposite to the right angle (also called the hypotenuse, then C2 = A2 + B2
Is 5 a right triangle?
If the length of only one side is known, it is not possible to determine whether or not the triangle is right angled.
Is 10 a right triangle?
If the length of only one side is known, it is not possible to determine whether or not the triangle is right angled.
What is the tangent of a right triangle?
There is no such thing as the tangent of a triangle. Circles, angles, and conversations have tangents. In a right angled triangle, the tangent of one of the acute angles is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to it.
How do you make a trapezoid out of one square and one triangle?
You can do it only of the triangle is right angled and if one of its legs is the same length as the side of the square. In that case, let that side of the triangle abut a side of the square.
How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?
Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.
A radius of a regular triangle is 12 Find the length of one side of the triangle?
A radius of a regular triangle is 12 . find the length of one side of the triangle?
HOW do you find the similar ratio of a triangle?
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.
What is the difference between an isosceles triangle and a right triangle?
In an isosceles triangle, two sides are of equal length. An isosceles triangle also has two congruent angles. An equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle, but not all isosceles triangles are equilateral triangles. __________ A right triangle (or right-angled triangle, formerly called a rectangled triangle) has one 90° internal angle (a right angle). The side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse; it is the longest side in the right triangle. An isoceles triangle has TWO sides of equal length but and equilateral triangle has THREE sides of equal length.
Is the isosceles triangle is always a right triangle?
It usually is a right angle that represents an isosceles triangle but there are some cases that the right and left side are equal and the base is the one with an unequal length.
A right-angled triangle has a hypotenuse of 25cm and one side of 15cm what is the length of the third side?
The length of the third side is 20 cm
