One reason is that the longest side must be opposite the largest angle. Since the sum of the angles is 180 degrees, we know the other two angles together add up to 90. That is to say, we must have a right angle, 90 degrees, to have a hypotenuse, and the angle opposite the hypotenuse is the right angle.
The other two angles are smaller so the sides that are opposite from them are smaller too.
What else can I help you with?
A 30- 60- 90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 8.6 What is the length of the longer of the two legs?
7.44 - 7.45
How do you find the hypotenuse and longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle?
If you have the shorter legs length, then for the hypotenuse, just multiply the shorter leg by 2. For the longer leg, multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.
What describes the relationship between the lengths of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
The square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c being the hypotenuse
A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 7 - what is the length of the legs?
The length of both of the other legs is: 4.95
When A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 9 What is the length of one of its legs?
The other two legs are 6.364
When the hypotenuse is given what do you do?
you can find the legs if one of the other legs is mentioned
Are some right triangles are also equilateral triangles?
No because all right triangles have 2 legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg so right triangles can't be equilateral triangles.
Why the hypothenuse of a right triangle must always be longer than either leg?
Depending on the interpretation of your question, there are two answers.Definition. If another leg was longer, it would be called the hypotenuse.If the hypotenuse were shorter than one of the legs forming the right angle, the hypotenuse would not be long enough to reach the other leg, and therefore not be a triangle at all.
The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 9 feet longer than either of its legs. what the exact length of each side?
Each leg is 21.73 feet and the Hypotenuse is 30.73 feet. (0.73 feet is a whisker over 8¾ inches)

7.44 - 7.45
What triangle longest side is called hypotenuse?
The longest side is the hypotenuse and the other 2 are called the legs.
Hypotenuse and what are the other sides called?
In a right triangle, the longest side ... the one opposite the right angle ... is the hypotenuse. The other two sides are called "legs".
How do you find the hypotenuse and longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle?
If you have the shorter legs length, then for the hypotenuse, just multiply the shorter leg by 2. For the longer leg, multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.
