Hypotenuse = 24


If an isosceles right triangle has a hypotenuse of 36 what is the measure of each leg?

12!!


If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 16 cm find the length of the other leg?

This is impossible. A leg cannot be greater than the hypotenuse. (Unless the triangle is part imaginary)


If the shortest leg of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 12 the length of the hypotenuse is?

24


What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with a base of 12 cm and a leg of 5 cm?

Hypotenuse squared = 12 squared + 5 Squared so Hypotenuse Squared = 144 + 25 so Hypotenuse = Square root of 169 = 13cm


In an isosceles right triangle the hypotenuse is radical three and if the hypotenuse is 12 then what is the smaller leg of that triangle?

If the hypotenuse is the square root of three, then the legs are (root 6)/2. If the hypotenuse is 12, then the legs are 6(root 2). This is because, for any given right isosceles triangle, the length of the hypotenuse x is root two times the length of the legs.


When A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 20 and a leg of length 12 what is the length of the other length?

The other leg length is 16.


A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 cm and one leg that measure 12 cm what is the length of the other leg?

Using Pythagoras: 5 cm
