Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length?
Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length.
Find hypotenuse only using opposite and angle?
In a right angles triangle the sides are named the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) and the other two sides are called the adjacent and the opposite sides. 1) The sine of an angle = length of the opposite side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. 2) The cosine of an angle = length of the adjacent side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. Using 1) The length of the hypotenuse = length of the opposite side ÷ the sine of the angle. Using tables or a calculator obtain the sine of the angle and divide this into the length of the opposite side. The result will be the length of the hypotenuse.
Length of hypotenuse?
The length of the hypotenuse is a²+b ²=c ² assuming that a and b are the other 2 sides.
A right triangle with legs of 7 and 11 units find the length of the hypotenuse?
A right triangle with legs of 7 and 11 units has a hypotenuse of: 13.04 units.
What is the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle if one side is 1 inch?
You need 2/3 of the sides to figure the length of the hypotenuse but the hypotenuse is always the longest side and the formula is a2 + b2 = c2 so if you have a and b you plug them in and solve. You cannot tell what the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle is because you need 2 "legs" to find the hypotenuse using the Pythag. theorem. If both legs were "1" inch in length then you would be able to find that the hypotenuse is ≈ 1.41421356 because 12 + 12 = c2 simplifies to 1 + 1 = c2 and 1 + 1 is 2 and the √ of 2 or √2 is equal to approximately 1.41421356.
