Which is the result derived from the pythagorean theorem?
If you know any two sides of a triangle (and know that one of the angles is a right angle), you can calculate the third side. Also, if you know the third side of a triangle, you can check whether the angle opposite the hypothenuse is a right angle or not.
How do you find the length of the legs of an isosceles right triangle when you have the hypotenuse?
Suppose the lengths of the legs is L metres and the hypotenuse is H metres. Then, by Pythagoras, L2 + L2 = H2 that is, 2L2 = H2 Or L2 = H2/2 so that L = H/sqrt(2)
How does the Pythagorean theorem link algebra and geometry?
Well, to put it simply, the Pythagorean theorem is an equation to find the measurement of a side of a triangle.Algebra is basically equations, and geometry is the study and measurement of shapes. The equation is a+b=c.
If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 122 inches long and another side of the triangle is 22 inches long. how long is the remaining side?
Being a right- angled triangle apply Pythagoras. h^2 = a^2 + b^2 Hence b^(2) = h^2 - a^2 b^(2) = ( h + a)(h - a) b^2 = (122 + 22)( 122 - 22) b^2 = 144(100) b^2 = 14400 b = sqrt(14400) = 120 .
What is the Pythagorean theorem?
It states that for any right angle triangle that its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
The H in HA theorem stands for?
hypotenuse
The H in HL theorem stands for?
hypotenuse
Math terms that begin with h?
Hypotenuse which is part of Pythagoras theorem :D
What descibes the relationship between the length of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
They are described by the famous Pythagoras theorem, if "a" and "b" are the legs and "h" the hypotenuse, then h x h = (a x a) + (b x b) Also a = h x sinB (where B is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side b and b = h x sinA (where A is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side a
How do you find the length of the hypotenuse if the base is 15cm and the height is 8cm?
Use Pythagoras' Theorem : In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Let H be the hypotenuse then :- H2 = 152 + 82 = 225 + 64 = 289 Then H = √289 = 17cm
A right triangle has leg lengths 5 and 12 the length of the triangles hypotenuse h is?
By Pythagoras h^2 = a^2 + b^2 Substituting h^2 = 12^(2) + 5^(2) h^2 = 144 + 25 h^2 = 169 h = sqrt(169) h = 13
One leg of a right triangle measures 6 and the other leg measures 8 how long is the hypotenuse?
The important thing here is that it's a right triangle. Since it is, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is as follows... (Length of leg)^2 + (Length of leg)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2 6^2 + 8^2 = h^2 36 + 64 + h^2 100 = h^2 (Now extract the root from both sides) 10=h
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle where two sides are 16 units and 12 units long?
From the Pythagorean theorem, if the unknown hypotenuse is called h, h2 = 162 + 122, or h = sq rt (256 + 144) = 20 units. (This is a 3-4-5 triangle enlarged by a factor of 4.)
Math terms that start with h?
half, hypotenuse
How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle if its length is 12m and base 10m?
In a isosceles triangle, the altitude is also a median. If we draw the altitude, then two congruent right triangles are formed, with hypotenuse length of 12m and base length 5 m (10/2). So the length of hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean theorem is h^2 = 12^2 - 5^2 h = √(144 - 25) h = √119 h ≈ 10.9
A right triangle has legs of 9 feet and 12 feet How long is the hypotenuse?
According to Pythagoras's theorem, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. So, h2 = 92 + 122 = 81 + 144 = 225 so h= sqrt (225) and since a negative length does not make sense, h = 15 feet.
How do you construct the fourth root of 2?
In a right triangle, the altitude with the hypotenuse as base divides the hypotenuse into two sections p and q. If we denote the length of the altitude by h, we have the relation h2 = p*q (Euklids altitutude theorem). So, first draw the square root of 2 as the diagonal of a square with side length 1, then construct a right triangle with p=1 and q= sqrt(2) by using the Thales theorem and its altitude will be fourth root of 2 according to Euclids theorem.
