Perimeter: 8+15+17 = 40 cm
Area: 0.5*8*15 = 60 square cm

When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle with perpendicular height?
The height of a triangle alone is not enough information to find the perimeter. You need some angle measures or side lengths.
What is the length of a right angle triangle with a height of 7 cm and the hypotenuse is 13 cm?
10.95 cm
What is the perimeter and height of a triangle that has a base length of 15cm with base angles of 28.67 degrees and 15.5 degrees?
Using the sine formulae of a/A=b/B=c/C and A/a=B/b=C/c in trigonometry the perimeter of the triangle is 31.08 cm with a height of 2.76 cm both rounded to two decimal places.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 15 and a leg of length 11 what is the are of the triangle?
56.08921465 or about 56 square units Worked out by using Pythagoras' theorem and area = 1/2*base*height.
Is slant height greater than the height?
Its slant height is bigger. Think of it as a triangle: the hypotenuse is always the largest side, and the slant height is like the hypotenuse.
How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
What is the perimeter of a right angle triangle when its base is 2.75 cm less than its height and 5.5 cm less than its hypotenuse?
Use Pythagoras' theorem and the quadratic equation formula to find the dimensions of the triangle. Dimensions: hypotenuse 13.75 cm, height 11 cm and base 8.25 cm Perimeter: 13.75+11+8.25 = 33 cm
When you use an inclined plane is the length greater than the height?
Of course the length is greater than the height. Take the example of a right angled triangle where the hypotenuse is always greater than the other two arms.
How do you find the perimeter of a isoscles triangle all you know is the base and height?
-- Imagine what you have if you slice the triangle in half along the height ...-- You have a right triangle. One side of it is 1/2 of the base, and one side isthe height.-- The slanting side is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and knowing whatyou know about right triangles, you can calculate its length.-- Once you do that, you have the lengths of all three sides of the original triangle,and you can calculate the perimeter.
How do you find the height of a fight triangle when the hypotenuse is 9?
I guess you meant a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 9 units.Long answer:If the hypotenuse is used as the base of the triangle, the height will be any value greater than 0 units and less than or equal to 41/2 units.If one of the other two sides is used as the base, then the height will be any value greater than 0 units and less than 9 units such that height = √(81 - base2).Short answer:You can't without further information about one of the other two sides.Short answer expanded:Then you can use Pythagoras to find the third side.If one if the non-hypotenuse sides is the base, then the height is the other side.Otherwise with the hypotenuse as the base, the height is given by:height = product_of_the_other_two_sides ÷ hypotenuse
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with a base of 300 mm and 500 mm height?
The hypotenuse of a triangle with a base of 300 mm and 500 mm height is: 583.1 mm
How do you calculate height of triangle if base is 2 and hypotenuse is 3?
Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).
A side of a right triangle that is not the hypotenuse?
Its base or its height
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
What is the area of a triangle with a height of 15 and a hypotenuse of 17?
The area of triangle is : 127.5
Which is bigger a pyramids height or its slant height?
Its slant height is bigger. Think of it as a triangle: the hypotenuse is always the largest side, and the slant height is like the hypotenuse.
