What is the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle if one side is 1 inch?
You need 2/3 of the sides to figure the length of the hypotenuse but the hypotenuse is always the longest side and the formula is a2 + b2 = c2 so if you have a and b you plug them in and solve. You cannot tell what the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle is because you need 2 "legs" to find the hypotenuse using the Pythag. theorem. If both legs were "1" inch in length then you would be able to find that the hypotenuse is ≈ 1.41421356 because 12 + 12 = c2 simplifies to 1 + 1 = c2 and 1 + 1 is 2 and the √ of 2 or √2 is equal to approximately 1.41421356.
Can 1 3 5 be the side lengths of a right triangle?
No, because the biggest length (hypotenuse) has to be equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides, which it is not
In a 30-60-90 triangle if the shorter leg has length p then the longer leg has length and the hypotenuse has length?
Use the rule that the shortest leg has length p, the other leg has length 2p and the hypotenuse has length p*sqrt(3) Where sqrt(number) if the square root of the number.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 22 ft a right triangle inside the rectangle has a perimeter of 12 ft it's hypotenuse is 5 ft one side of the triangle is half the length of the rect solve all length?
ok, i figured it out. the length of the triangle is 5, 4, 3. the four is 1/2 the length of one side of the rectangle. so the rectangle sides are 8, 8, 3, 3 (one three being one side of the rectangle as well)
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle where the two sides are 24 units each?
Using Pythagoras:- 242+242 = 1152 and the square root of this is the length of the hypotenuse which is 24*sq rt 2 which is about 33.941 units to 3 d.p.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle the has a base of 3 and a side of 4 units?
It completely depends on what type of triangle it is.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 3 feet and a height of 12 feet?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 3 feet and a height of 12 feet is: 12.37 feet.
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle if it has side lengths of 3 and 4?
Its hypotenuse is 5 units in length
How do you calculate the length of a side of a triangles?
Well, there are 3 sides, and if you are given the length of 2 of the 3 sides, you can calculate the other one. The longest side of the triangle is called the "Hypotenuse" and to calculate the hypotenuse you take the lengths of the other sides, square each of them, then add. Take the square root of the answer and that is the length of the hypotenuse. Now if you have the length of the hypotenuse and either of the other two sides, take the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the other known side, square each of them, add them, then the square root of the sum will equal the remaining side.
The ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse?
Starting with an equilateral triangle of side 2, dropping a perpendicular from one vertex to the opposite base creates two equal right angled triangles with hypotenuse of length 2, base length 1 and height of length √(22 - 12) = √3 which is the longer leg of the 30-60-90 triangle. Thus the ratio of longer_leg : hypotenuse is √3 : 2
What is the length of the side opposite the 60?
(1/2) x (length of the hypotenuse) x sqrt(3)
If the shortest leg of a 30 degree 60 degree 90 degree triangle has length 7 the length of the hypotenuse is?
In general call the shortest side a and remember this is always the side opposite the 30 degree angle. Then the other leg/side has length a(square root 3) and the hypotenuse has length 2a.So in the case of a=7, the hypotenuse has length 14.
What is the base of a right triangle with sides 3 4 and 5 cm?
base is 35 must be the hypotenuse, as hypotenuse is the longest side in a right angled triangle4 is the perpendicular.answer:- 3**********************************************************
If the sides of a right angled triaangle are 4 and 5what is the length of the 3rd side the hypotenuse?
Its hypotenuse is 5 and its sides are 3 and 4
What is the length of the hypotenuseif they are 3 4 5?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle.
The length of the longest side of a right triangle is 3 more than the length of the shorter side the length of the hypotenuse is 3 more than the length of the longer side find the length of each side?
Let's call the unknown length x and use Pythagoras' theorem: x2+(x+3)2 = (x+6)2 By substituting 9 for x you'll find that only 9 will satisfy the above conditions. Shorter side = 9 units Longer side = 12 units Hypotenuse = 15 units
If the length of the longer side of a right triangle is 3 more than the length of the shorter side the length of the hypotenuse is 3 more than the length of the longer side find e length of each side?
You can plug those values in the pythagorean theorem and find the hypotenuse: h = ((h - 3)2 + (h - 6)2)1/2 ∴ h2 = h2 - 6h + 9 + h2 - 12h + 36 ∴ h2 = 2h2 - 18h + 45 ∴ h2 - 18h + 45 = 0 ∴ (h - 3)(h - 15) = 0 ∴ h = 3, 15 So the length of the hypotenuse will be either 3 or 15. It can't be 3 though, since that would make the other sides 0 and -3, which is impossible. The answer then is 15. The triangle has a hypotenuse of 15, and sides of 12 and 9
