Want this question answered?
square root of -96, which is imaginary. No such triangle is possible in this universe.
The length of the hypotenuse works out as 17 miles
The hypotenuse measures 11.4 meters in length.
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.
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.
If the legs of a right triangle have measures of 9 and 12, the hypotenuse is: 15

The answer will depend on whether the length is the hypotenuse or one of the legs of the triangle.
The hypotenuse measures 11.4 meters in length.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 cm and one leg that measures 12 cm What is the length of the other leg?
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).
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.
The approximate length of the other leg of the triangle is: 11.9 inches.
The hypotenuse is always the longest of the three sides of a right triangle.
