What is Hypotenuse Leg?
The HYPOTENUSE is the side of a Right-Angled Triangle, opposite to the 90 degree angle. It is the LONGEST side of a right angled triangle.
Draw a triangle where the altitude is a side of the triangle?
Any right triangle resting on a leg.
How are side angle side triangles and Hypotenuse leg alike?
"Hypotenuse-leg" is not necessarily the right-triangle version of "side-angle-side". It's the right-triangle version of "side-side-side", because if you know that it's a right triangle, and you know the hypotenuse and a leg, then you can calculate the length of the other leg. If you want to work with "side-angle-side", and you know the hypotenuse and a leg, then you can find the angle between them, because it's the angle whose cosine is (the known leg) divided by (the hypotenuse), and you can look it up.
What is a hypotenuse leg?
The hypotenuse leg of a right angle triangle is its longest side.
Which leg corresponds to a leg in a right triangle?
Any side except its hypotenuse
The side of an isosceles triangle that is not a leg is called?
The base.
Leg of a triangle?
It is usually a side from the apex of the triangle to the base. However, in the case of a right angled triangle a leg could refer to the two sides which define the right angle.
How could you solve for a leg of an equilateral triangle if you are given an angle?
You cannot solve for a leg in any triangle without at least one other side.
What is the side of a right triangle called when it is not a hypotenuse?
It is usually called a "leg".
How long is the shorter leg of a right triangle with a side of 8 inches and a hypotenuse of 40 inches?
A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 40 inches and a side of 8 inches has a leg length of 39.19 inches so the shorter leg IS 8 inches.
How do you find a leg of a right triangle?
Look for a side that's not the longest side of the triangle.There are two of them.
