In order to solve this equation you will use the Pathagorean Theorem. [(A^2+B^2=C^2) "^2" being square root] Here are the steps to solve for C with A=36 and B=12; A^2+B^2=C^2Now let's solve for C... C=(square root of) A^2+B^2 Then we enter in our known values... C=(square root of) 36^2 + 12^2Next we square 36 and 12, giving us 1,296 and 144... C=(square root of) 1,296+144 Almost there! Now add the two numbers and find the square root using your scientific calculator. C=(square root of) 1,440 which is... C=37.94733 And there you have it. Your missing side is 37.95 (rounded). I hope you found this information helpful.

What kind of triangle is 25 and a 90 degree angle?
Those triangles with 25 and 90 degree angles are called right angle triangle.
Devices to measure?
1. Ruler (length, height, width) 2. Meter Stick (length, height, width) 3. Protractor (angle)
A 30-60-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 44. What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?
I assume your 90 degree angle is on the right and the 30 degree angle is opposite that. ( degree mode ) sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse sin 30 degrees = opp./44 = 22
What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?
It depends on the length of the other two sides which creates that angle. Not enough information was given. However, you can simply use the Cosine rule to find it if the other two lengths are known. a2=b2+c2- 2bccosA (A=30 and a is the length of the side opposite to 30 degree angle; b and c is the length of the sides which makes up the 30 degree angle)
Is angle angle angle a way to show that triangles are similar?
Yes, AAA is a way to show that triangles are similar. Note, however, that AAA is not a way to show that triangles are congruent.
What is the base of triangle when you know height and degree?
Height and degree only give the base in right triangles, because in that case you'd know angle-side-angle (because you know one is 90 degrees).
What triangles have a 45 degree angle?
acute triangles
How many possible triangles can be formed if angle J is acute and the length of side j is equal to the height of the triangle?
Infinitely many.
Which triangles have a right angle d a or c?
They are the triangles that contain a 90 degree angle and two acute angles
Does Pythagorean Theorem work for triangles that don't have a 90 degree angle?
It does not; if there is no 90 degree angle there is no hypotenuse.
What kind of triangles can you use with the Pythagorean Theorem?
Right triangles - those with a 90-degree angle.
What are the angles in the triangles inside a pentagram?
In a perfect star, the triangles have two 72 degree angles and one 36 degree angle.
What are the 30-60-90 triangles?
In a right triangle where two other angles are 30 and 60 degrees, the side opposite to the 30 degree angle has a length that equals the half of the hypotenuse length.
How do you construct 60 degree angle triangles?
You should use a protractor.
Is the length of your shadow the same as your height?
No. Only if the ground is level and the light source is very far away and at a 45 degree angle.
If triangle has a 30 degree angle and an angle that measures twice this amount what is the measure of the triangles third angle?
90 degrees
What kind of triangle is 25 and a 90 degree angle?
Those triangles with 25 and 90 degree angles are called right angle triangle.
