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.

How do you find the degree when you know height and length?

To find the degree of an angle when you know the height and length of a right triangle, you can use the tangent function. The tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side (height) divided by the adjacent side (length). You can calculate the angle by taking the arctangent (inverse tangent) of the height divided by the length: ( \text{angle} = \tan^{-1}(\frac{\text{height}}{\text{length}}) ). This will give you the angle in degrees.


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?

It does not; if there is no 90 degree angle there is no hypotenuse.


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.
