How do you use sine in math?
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
What is the value of X in a right triangle if one side is 14 and the hypotenuse is 28?
It depends on whether X is the missing side, one of the angles or some other measure of the triangle.
How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.
How do you find the missing measure of an acute triangle?
It depends on what measure is missing.
What is the missing length of the right triangle which measures 15 cm by 13 cm?
We don't know whether the 15cm happens to be the hypotenuse (longest side) of the right triangle. It makes a big difference. -- If the 15cm is the longest side, then the third side is 7.483 cm. (rounded) -- If the 13cm and the 15cm are the "legs", then the hypotenuse is 19.849 cm. (rounded)
What is the measure of the third angle of the triangle if the measures of two angles of a triangle are 35deg and 45deg?
The missing angle measure is 100 degrees.

What is the missing length of a right triangle if b equals 35 and c equals 37?
Because there is no information on which side is the hypotenuse, there is not a unique answer. The hypotenuse can either be the missing side or c. If the hypotenuse is the missing side, then it has a length of sqrt(2594) = 50.93133 units. If c is the hypotenuse the missing side is 12 units long.
How do you find the missing measure of an acute triangle?
It depends on what measure is missing.
Find the missing side of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 if one of the sides of the triangle is 5?

What is the missing length of an right triangle with length s of 7in and 18in?
If the 7" and 18" are the two legs, then the hypotenuse is 19.313" (rounded). If the 18" is the hypotenuse, then the missing leg is 16.583" (rounded).

Who figured out how to find out the hypotenuse in a triangle?
The pythagorean theorem is the equation used to find the hypotenuse or missing side in a right triangle. It is named after Pythagoras of Samos, a mathematician who lived in the 5th and 6th centuries BC.
What is the missing hypotenuse of the right triangle 21 and 20?
Using the Pythagorean theorem: 20²+21² = 400+441 = 841 = 29² So the hypotenuse is of length 29
What is the measure of the missing angles of a triangle if one angle measures 34 degrees?
The two missing angles add up to 146 degrees. There's no way to tell what each of them is. In fact, any two angles that add to 146 can be used to construct a fine triangle.
