What is the name given to the longest side of a right angled triangle?
A hypotenuse.
What is the hypotenuse with the lengths of 5 and 6?
according to the pythagoras theorem, In a right angled triangle,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2here, 2 sides are given, that are 5cm and 6cm (or it can be in meter )so by pythagoras theorem we get,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2(hypotenuse)2 = 52 + 62(hypotenuse)2 = 25 + 36(hypotenuse)2 = 61hypotenuse = √61
How do you find sides of right triangle given only the hypotenuse and all angles?
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
If the legs of a right triangle are Cm and Cm find its hypotenuse?
No dimensions have been given but to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle use Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find angle of elevation when given hypotenuse and a base?
Given the hypotenuse and the base ...-- divide the (base) by the (hypotenuse); get a number less than '1'.-- the number is the 'cosine' of the elevation angle.-- either take the cos-1 of the number on a calculator, which is the angleOR-- look up the number in a table of cosines and see what angle it represents.
How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when only a side length and angle is given?
Dependent on what side you are given you would use Sin(Θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse just rearrange the formula to Hypotenuse = Opposite/Sin(Θ). Or if you are given the adjacent side use Cosine(Θ)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, then: Hypotenuse = Adjacent/Cosine(Θ)
Given the legs a and b of a triangle are 3 and 4 then the hypotenuse is?
Given the legs a and b of a triangle are 3 and 4, the hypotenuse is: 5
What name is given to the longest side of a right angle?
hypotenuse . and the hypotenuse is always c :)
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 5 inches and a height 12 inches?
Hypotenuse^2 = base^2 + height^2, substitute the given values Hypotenuse^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 25 + 144 Hypotenuse^2 = 169 Hypotenuse = √169 Hypotenuse = 13 Thus, the hypotenuse is 13 inches.
When you use the Distance Formula you are building a right triangle whose hypothenuse goes between two given points?
hypotenuse, hypotenuse
How do you determine what side of the triangle is the hypotenuse?
Given a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side or simply the side opposite the 90o angle.
What is the name given to the longest side of a right angled triangle?
A hypotenuse.
How do you find another leg in Pythagorean theorem with the hypotenuse given?
The square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the leg you know will give you the square of the unknown leg.
How do you find the length of the sides of a right triangle given the hypotenuse?
You can't. You need some more information. If you only know the length of the hypotenuse, you can draw an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse.
How do you find sides of right triangle given only the hypotenuse and all angles?
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
What is the hypotenuse with the lengths of 5 and 6?
according to the pythagoras theorem, In a right angled triangle,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2here, 2 sides are given, that are 5cm and 6cm (or it can be in meter )so by pythagoras theorem we get,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2(hypotenuse)2 = 52 + 62(hypotenuse)2 = 25 + 36(hypotenuse)2 = 61hypotenuse = √61
Surface area of a right prism?
Given the four variables: baseA, baseB, hypotenuse, height, the formula is: (baseA+baseB+hypotenuse)*height+baseA*baseB
