How do uou find the length of a rectangle?
If you know the length of one side - and the area... divide the area by the known side - to get the value of the unknown.
How do you find a length of a unknown side of a hexagon?
It depends on what information about the other sides and angles you do have.
How do you find the perimeter of a right triangle when the length of one side is unknown?
You begin by finding the length of the unknown side. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. Then once you have the lengths of all 3 sides, you adum all up, and you have the perimeter.
How can pythagoream theorem be used to find a missing side length of a right triangle?
It can be found by: hypotenuse squared minus known side squared = unknown side squared
The length of the longest side of a right triangle is 3 more than the length of the shorter side the length of the hypotenuse is 3 more than the length of the longer side find the length of each side?
Let's call the unknown length x and use Pythagoras' theorem: x2+(x+3)2 = (x+6)2 By substituting 9 for x you'll find that only 9 will satisfy the above conditions. Shorter side = 9 units Longer side = 12 units Hypotenuse = 15 units
