Best Answer

There are an infinite number of different sets of lengths that will do it.

You have to start by choosing the length of one side, and when you

do that, here's how to find the others:

Shorter leg = (longer leg) x 0.364

Shorter leg = (hypotenuse) x 0.342

Longer leg = (shorter leg) x 2.747

Longer leg = (hypotenuse) x 0.94

Hypotenuse = (shorter leg) / 0.342

Hypotenuse = (longer leg) / 0.94

How do you classify a triangle with 3 given side lengths?

That depends on what the side lengths are. Until the side lengths are known, the triangle can only be classified as a triangle.


How do you find the side length on a triangle with one angle given?

To find side lengths on a triangle, you need to know at least one of the sides. The possible combinations for solving* a triangle are: side, side, side; side, angle, side; angle, side, angle; angle, side, longer side. *To solve a triangle is to find the lengths of all the sides and the measures of all the angles.


What is the formula for perimeter of a right triangle when one side is missing?

Surely you know how to find the third side of a right triangle, when you know the lengths of the other two. Find it, and then add up the lengths of the three sides to get the perimeter.

How do you find the area of a triangle with side lengths?

If you are only given the side lengths of a scalene triangle, it is impossible for you to find for the area, unless you are given more information... like the height of the triangle for example. If this is a right triangle you would like to find the area of, you can multiply the length of each leg with each other, and then divide that product by 2 to conclude the area of the triangle.

Are angles measured by their side lengths?

No. Angles don't have anything called a side length. However, one can use trigonometry to compute the angles of a triangle based on the side lengths of the triangle (triangles do have side lengths).


What type of triangle has side lengths of 23 24and 24?

An isoceles triangle! It has two lengths the same!


What type of triangle have side lengths of 6 8 and 3 inches?

Because all side lengths are different, it must be a scalene triangle.


How do you find the side lengths of the lengths a and b on a triangle?

It depends very much on what information is given. In the last resort, you just get a ruler and measure them!
