More information is required. The longest side can be anything between slightly more than the shortest side, to infinity.
Square the two shortest sides together and then add them both together to form our answer for the longest side
What else can I help you with?
How do you know that one of the sides of a right triangle is the hypotenuse?
It is opposite the right angle and it is the longest side.
How do you know which is the smaller angle of a right triangle?
It is the angle formed by the hypothenuse and the longest of the other sides
How can you determine whether a triangle is a right triangle if you only know the lengths of the sides?
If it is a right angled triangle it will conform to Pythagoras' Theorm: The square of the hypotenuse = the sum of the squares on the other two sides. The hypotenuse would be the longest side, so add the two shorter sides squared together and if this equals the longest side squared then the triangle is a right angle triangle.
How do you find the lengths of the three sides if one side is 9 inches longer than the shortest?
First, it is necessary to know three sides of what - most likely a triangle but the question does not say so. If a triangle, the difference of two sides is not sufficient to determine the lengths of the three sides.
How do you know if triangle can be formed with given lengths?
Lenths of the 2 shortests sides added together has to be greater than length of the longest side.
What is the length of a hypotenuse?
A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
What is a Pythagoras notation?
This is an equation that can help you find the length of each side of a right angle triangle, as long as you already know two of the sides. This equation is: c² = a² + b² c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side) and a + b are the 'legs' (two shorter sides)
How do you use pythagaoras theorem?
If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.
How do you make a triangle when you only know two sides and one angle?
Thats already a triangle if it three sides.
What shape has three sides that are not equal but have a right angle?
with the three sides you know it will be a triangle, it is a right triangle, it is not an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle... so it must be a right scalene triangle
How do you know if a triangle is a right triangle by it's sides?
C2=a2+b2
How do you know when a triangle is scalene?
You know a when a triangle is scalene if all its sides are diffrent lenths none of them are the same
