What is the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle if this altitude divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 8 millimeters and 18 millimeters?
What a neat little problem ! I'll remember this one, and I'll use it. The altitude to the hypotenuse is 12.0 millimeters long.
How can you calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle?
By using the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is one side of the right-angled triangle and b is the other side of the right angle triangle. C stands for the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. Note: this formula only works for RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLES!!!
What is Hypotenuse Leg?
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
How do you find the hypotenuse to a triangle?
First of all, you have to make sure that it's a RIGHT triangle. That means that one of the angles in the triangle is 90 degrees. If not, then it's not a right triangle, and it doesn't have a hypotenuse. If it IS a right triangle, then the longest side is the hypotenuse.
What is the length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs with lengths of 4 and 3?
The formula to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle is a2+b2=c2. c being the hypotenuse, a and b being the legs. So, 42+32=c2. 16+9=c2. 25=c2. c=5. The hypotenuse is 5.
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
What is the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
Sqrt x2+y2
How do you find the altitude of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem: hypotenuse^2 minus base^2 = altitude^2
What is the Formula of a hypotenuse of right triangle?
The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 13 centimeters long. How long are its sides?
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle and the?
That is it. Just the hypotenuse - provided you have the correct triangle.
How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
What is a sentence for hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side. The hypotenuse of the right triangle measured 5 inches. In the formula "a2 + B2 = C2, the hypotenuse is always C.
What is the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle if this altitude divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 8 millimeters and 18 millimeters?
What a neat little problem ! I'll remember this one, and I'll use it. The altitude to the hypotenuse is 12.0 millimeters long.
In a right triangle when you draw an altitude to the hypotenuse are the triangles ever similar?
Only if the angles of the triangle are 90, 45, and 45.
Example problems in right plane triangle?
Here are a couple Find the altitude of a triangle with base 3 and hypotenuse 5. Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle with each side to 2
When you use the distance formula you are calculating the length of the of a right triangle?
