How do you calculate the hypotenus of a triangle -- not a right triangle.?
This is impossible, as a hypotenuse is only found on a right triangle.
What is the long side of a triangle called?
hypotenuse - only if it is a right triangle. Otherwise, there is no special name.
How do you find the angle opposite of the hypotenuse of a triangle with all three sides known?
The only triangle that has a hypotenuse is a right-triangle. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, so the angle is always 90 degrees. In this case, if you're just finding the angle then you don't need to know what the side lengths are.
How do you find the length of the sides of a right triangle given the hypotenuse?
You can't. You need some more information. If you only know the length of the hypotenuse, you can draw an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse.
How do you find the hypotenuse with only a leg and a degree?
If it's a right angle triangle and an acute angle plus the length of a leg is given then use trigonometry to find the hypotenuse.
How do you calculate the hypotenus of a triangle -- not a right triangle.?
This is impossible, as a hypotenuse is only found on a right triangle.
Is a right triagnle the only triangle with the longest side a hypotenuse?
No but with a right angle triangle the longest side is the hypotenuse.
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.
Does only a right triangle have a hypotenuse?
Yes
Is the hypotenuse on a triangle always the longest side?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse, and yes,when there's a hypotenuse, it's the longest side.
Does a triangle have a hypotenuse?
Only right triangles have hypotenuses.
Are the hypotenuse of a right triangle adjacent to the right angle?
First: there can only be one hypotenuse in a right angled triangle and it is always OPPOSITE the right angle, NEVER adjacent.
How do you determine sine in a right triangle?
The sine of an angle in a right triangle is opposite/hypotenuse, where opposite is the only side that is not adjacent to the angle you want to find the sine of, and the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle in the triangle. Just find opposite/hypotenuse.
How do you find area of a 90 degree triangle with hypotenuse only?
The hypotenuse only is not sufficient to determine the area of a right triangle, unless the triangle is stated to be isosceles, or there is some other information that allows determination of the length of a side in addition to the hypotenuse. The area of a right triangle with a given hypotenuse only approaches zero as one of the two acute angles approaches zero degrees.
Can you find the length of the sides of a right triangle knowing only the hypotenuse?
No.
What is the long side of a triangle called?
hypotenuse - only if it is a right triangle. Otherwise, there is no special name.
How many diagonals does a right angle triangle have?
The only diagonal line in a right-angle triangle is the hypotenuse. So the answer is 1.
