The answer depends on whether side a is the hypotenuse or side c.
If side a is the hypotenuse, then c = 13.416 inches (approx) and
if side c is the hypotenuse, then c = 21.633 inches (approx).

How do you find the hypotenuse of a triangle that has no right angles?
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
Is 16 plus 30 equals 36 a right triangle?
No. I presume the numbers in the question refer to the sides of the triangle. If that is the case, the Pythagorus theorem can be used to find the answer to the question. The Pythagorus theorem states that in any right triangle, a2 + b2 = c2, where c is the hypotenuse (longest side) This means that if 162 + 302 = 362 then it must be a right triangle.162 + 302 =1156362 = 1296As 1156 ≠ 1296, the triangle is not a right triangle.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle exceeds the other leg by 2 inches. The hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 inches. Find the legs of the triangle.?
if one leg is 10-2=8 then Pythagoras tells us 10^2 = 8^2 + leg^2 so second leg squared = 100-64 = 36 so legs are 6 and 8 inches
What is A2 X B2 equals C2?
a square + b square = c square this is the formula for Pythagoras in maths. it is to find the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle
If triangle AC equals 6 and BD equals 4 find AB?
If AC equals 6 and BD equals 4, then AB equals 5.
How do you find the length of a right triangle when b equals 1 and c equals sqrt of 10?
The best way to find the length of a right triangle is to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The answer would be A = 3.
If angle A equals 32 and angle B equals 58 What type of triangle is it?
all the angles in a triangle have to add up to 180. to find the missing angle : 180 - 32 - 58 = 90 90 is a right angle and since there is a right angle in the triangle, it is a right angled triange
How do you find out if a triangle is a right triangle?
if the triangle has one right angle in it
Angle C equals 90degrees in a right triangle ABC if a equals 50degrees and c equals 80degrees find angle b.?
Is angle C 90 degrees or 80 degrees?
How can you use the pythagorean theorem to find out if a triangle is a right triangle?
The pythagorean theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2. This means that in a right triangle, both legs squared will add up to the hypotenuse squared. To see if a triangle is a right side, add up the two legs squared and see if it equals the hypotenuse.
Find side b if side a equals 8.5 inches and side c equals 15 inches?
For a right triangle: A^2+B^2 = C^2 Solve for B: 8.5^2+B^2 = 15^2 B^2 = 15^2 - 8.5^2 B = SQRT(15^2 - 8.5^2)
If a equals 6 and b equals 8 and c equals 9 does it form a right triangle?
No it does not. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2. (2's representing "squared") You will find the sides do not add up properly. You end up with 36+64=81 and 100 does not equal 81. It is not a Right Triangle.
What is the volume of an 8 inch tall right triangular pyramid with a base hypotenuse of 10 inches and a base leg of 8 inches?
First, we want to look at the base to find its area. A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 inches and a leg of 8 inches has its other leg at 6 inches by the Pythagorean Theorem. Now we have both legs of the right triangle, so using the formula for area of a triangle, A=bh/2, we get an area of 24 square inches. Now, the volume of a pyramid is Bh/3, so 24*10/3=80 cubic inches.
How do you find the length of a hypotenuse if the area equals 36?
If it's a right angle triangle then the dimensions of one of its sides is also needed
How do you find the hypotenuse of a triangle that has no right angles?
If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
What is the length of a diagonal rectangle with a length of 9 inches and a width of 3 inches?
To find the diagonal length of a rectangle use Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
The demension of a right trapezoid-shaped figure has bases of 28 inches and 16 inches and the slant height is 17 inches What is the lenght in inches of the height?
If you draw another altitude parallel to the height (the side which is perpendicular to the bases) of the trapezoid, you can see that a right triangle is formed.In this triangle the hypotenuse length is 17 in, and the base length equals to 28 - 16 = 12 in. From the Pythagorean theorem, height length = √(17 - 12) ≈ 12 in.Or find the measure of the angle (call it A) opposite to the height such as:cos A = 12/17A = cos-1 (12/17) ≈ 45⁰, which tells us that this right triangle is an isosceles triangle.Therefore, the height is (congruent with base) 12 inches long
