We can use pythagoras' theorem to solve this. Make the shortest side, (A), the next longest side (B) and the longest side (C). Then square all the measurements : A2 + B2 = C2. So the length of C will be given to you in a squared number, so simply use the square root of that number for the length. You can then rearrange the formula to get the length of the side you want, if you're not looking for C.

How do you find the side length of a right triangle if you have one side length?
One side is not enough. For a right triangle the third side can be calculated by Pythagoras' Theorem if you know the length of any two sides.
Is 5 a right triangle?
If the length of only one side is known, it is not possible to determine whether or not the triangle is right angled.
How do you make a trapezoid out of one square and one triangle?
You can do it only of the triangle is right angled and if one of its legs is the same length as the side of the square. In that case, let that side of the triangle abut a side of the square.
What is the difference between an isosceles triangle and a right triangle?
In an isosceles triangle, two sides are of equal length. An isosceles triangle also has two congruent angles. An equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle, but not all isosceles triangles are equilateral triangles. __________ A right triangle (or right-angled triangle, formerly called a rectangled triangle) has one 90° internal angle (a right angle). The side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse; it is the longest side in the right triangle. An isoceles triangle has TWO sides of equal length but and equilateral triangle has THREE sides of equal length.
The length of an equilateral triangle is 66 what it the length of one side of the triangle?
10
Is 7 a right trianlge?
If the length of only one side is known, it is not possible to determine whether or not the triangle is right angled.
The length of the hypotenuse of an isoscales right triangle is 7 meters what is the area of the triangle?
There is not enough information to solve this. You need to know one other length od a side to solve this.
What is the length of a of one side of a triangle?
Assuming that you are talking about a right triangle. a2 + b2 = c2 Solve for a a = square root of c2-b2
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!!!
If you have a triangle one side is 7 cm and one side is 13 cm what is the length of the missing side?
I don't think there is enough information to answer the question, first of all, is it a right triangle? Second, is the the 13cm the hypotenuse. Assuming that 13cm is the hypotenuse, and the triangle is a right triangle, the equation would be 49+x^2=169
What is feet length of one side of right triangle of three quarters of acre?
It cannot be determined from the available information.
How do you find an angle within a non-right angled triangle when only given one side length?
You cannot find any angle, or either of the other two sides, in a non-right triangle, when given only one side.
