It is Pythagoras' theorem of: a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of a right angle triangle with c being the hypotenuse or its longest side

Theorem is this describing In a right triangle the sum of the squares of the leg lengths is equal to square of the hypotenuse length.?
It is Pythagoras' theorem that is applicable to right angle triangles.
In a right triangle the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the?
pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2 (only in right triangles) c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two legs.
A right triangles hypotenuse has length 5 if one leg has length 2 what is the length of the other leg?
Use Pythagoras' theorem: 52-22 = 21 and the square root of this is 4.582575695 or about 4.6 units in length
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the legs have length of 4 cm?
You learn the Pythagorean theorem.
How do you measure a hypotenuse?
Use Pythagoras' theorem...a2 + b2 = c2where c is the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.
A right triangle has leg lengths 5 and 12 the length of the triangles hypotenuse h is?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 13 units
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles?
No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D

Since the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, they divide WXYZ into four right triangles. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find zy, the length of the hypotenuse of right YPZ?
no
Who found the length of the hypotenuse?
I'm assuming Pythagorus - hence the Pythagorean Theorem of which you use to figure the length of the hypotenuse.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 12 and 35?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 37
In a right triangle if the length of the legs are 12 and 5 then what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 13 units
How do you find the measures of a right angle with length and width shown?
A right angle is always 90 degrees. Another Answer:- If you mean the length of the hypotenuse then use Pythagoras' theorem which is applicable to right angle triangles
What is The Theorem States That In A Right Triangle The Square Of The Length Of The Hypotenuse Is Equal To The Sum of the squares of the length of the legs?
It is Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 17 units
