If the lengths of the two sides of a right triangle on either side of the 90 degree angle are 150 inches and 200 inches what is the length of the remaining side the hypotenuse?

If the lengths of the two sides of a right triangle on either side of the 90 degree angle are 150 inches and 200 inches, the length of the hypotenuse is: 250 inches.


What is the formula for perimeter of a right triangle when one side is missing?

Surely you know how to find the third side of a right triangle, when you know the lengths of the other two. Find it, and then add up the lengths of the three sides to get the perimeter.


What is the missing length of a right triangle if b equals 35 and c equals 37?

Because there is no information on which side is the hypotenuse, there is not a unique answer. The hypotenuse can either be the missing side or c. If the hypotenuse is the missing side, then it has a length of sqrt(2594) = 50.93133 units. If c is the hypotenuse the missing side is 12 units long.


Find side c if side a equals 18 inches and side b equals 12 inches of a right triangle?

The answer depends on whether side a is the hypotenuse or side c. If side a is the hypotenuse, then c = 13.416 inches (approx) and if side c is the hypotenuse, then c = 21.633 inches (approx).


How do you find the Missing side of a right angle triangle?

Depends on triangle. First a triangle equals 180 degrees in total. If you have a square making 90 degrees,the other 2 sides have to add with 90 to make 180. So you add 90 with the number you have and then use the sum to subtract it from 180 making your missing side.

What is the measure of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if one side is 24 inches and other side is 30 inches?

The measure of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if one side is 24 inches and other side is 30 inches is: 38.42 inches.


How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?

Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.


In a right-angled triangle the two sides that form the right angle are both 5 inches what is the other side?

that side of the triangle is only 7 inches long


How do you find the missing side from a right triangle?

to find the missing side of a right triangle you need the pythagorean theorem. A2 + B2 = C2. c is the longest side and a and b is the other sides. no particular side is a or b just the longest side is c.


How long is the shorter leg of a right triangle with a side of 8 inches and a hypotenuse of 40 inches?

A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 40 inches and a side of 8 inches has a leg length of 39.19 inches so the shorter leg IS 8 inches.


How do you find a missing side of a triangle?

The way to find the missing side of a triangle-THIS ONLY WORKS ON RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLES-is square both sides seperately and then add them together to give you the square of the missing side-find the square root and that is the size of the missing side-eg. if you have a RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE with sides of 3inch and 4inch then (3x3) + (4x4) = 25 so the square root of 25 is 5 meaning the missing side is 5inch.


Find the missing side of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 if one of the sides of the triangle is 5?

12


How can you find a missing side or angle of a right triangle?

180 minus two known angle = missing angle. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find its missing side.


If a triangle has a 7 and a 3 as side lengths, what´s the missing side length?

Insufficient information. Is it a right triangle? And if so, which sides are the 7 and 3?


What is the length of the third side of a triangle when the first side is 5 in long and the second side is 3 in long?

Not enough information. If it's a right triangle, and the missing side is a leg, it could be 4 in. If the missing side is the hypotenuse, it would be the square root of 34.
