What is the length of in the right triangle below with legs of 18 and 80?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle its hypotenuse is 82 units in length
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 12 and 35?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 37
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure 30 in and 72 in?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle its hypotenuse length is 78 in.
What are aspects of Pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angled triangle the length of the hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of the length of the base plus the length of the height when both are squared: base2+height2 = hypotenuse2
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 17 units
Can Pythagorean Theorem can be used on any triangle to determine the length of a missing side?
yes
How can you find the length of the missing side of a triangle using square root?
You use the pythagorean theorem.
What do you use pythagorean theorem for?
You can use it to determine the length of a missing part of a 3-sided triangle.
What is the Pythagorean theorem used for?
....It can help us find the length of the "HYPOTENUSE" easier.....The Pythagorian Theorem is used to find the missing length of one side of a triangle. A^2 + B^2 = C^2
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.
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length on a right triangle?
1) Write down the equation for the theorem. 2) Replace the sides you know. 3) Solve the resulting equation for the third side.
What is The Theorem States That In A Right Triangle The Square Of The Length Of The Hypotenuse Is Equal To The Sum of the squares of the length of the legs?
It is Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find the side length of a right triangle if you have two side length?
You use the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2. Variables a and b are the shorter sides; c is the hypotenuse. Just plug the values for the sides into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.
What is the missing hypotenuse of the right triangle 21 and 20?
Using the Pythagorean theorem: 20²+21² = 400+441 = 841 = 29² So the hypotenuse is of length 29
What is the Pythagorem theorem used for?
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a side of a right triangle knowing the length of the other two side.
How do you Find the length of an altitude of an equalateral triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
How to figure the length of one side of a triangle with only the length of the long side and some degrees?
you might be able to use tangent, sine, or cosine. you might be able to use the Pythagorean theorem, or you can used 30-60-90 triangle theorem or 45-45-90 triangle theorem
