How do you find the hypotenuse with only a leg and a degree?
It depends on the position of the 'leg' compared to the known angle. If the 'leg' makes up one of the two sides of the angle, then the other side of the angle is the hypotenuse. In this case the 'leg' would be referred to as the 'adjacent' side. The side the doesn't form part of the angle is referred to as the 'opposite' side. So using the trig. functions. Sin(angle) = opposite / hypotenuse. Then algebraically rearranging hypotenuse = opposite / Sin(angle). Similarly for 'Cos'. Cos(angle) = adjacent/ hypotenuse Hence Hypotenuse = adjacent / Cos(angle) So as an example If the leg/opposite is 2 units. and the angle 30 degrees. Then hypotenuse = 2 / Sin(30). On you calculator you should be find the Sin( 30) = 1/2 = 0.5 Substitute in hypotenuse = 2 / 1/2 ( That is '2' divided by '1/2'), (Division of fractions). hypotenuse = 2 X 2/1 = 4/1 = 4 units. NB When using your calculator to find 'Sin' , 'Cos', and 'Tan' of angles, you will read out some 'horrible' decimal numbers. NNB Do NOT use the TAN(gent) function to find hypotenuse. It is NOT part of the Tan ratio. Here is an 'aide memoire' for the Trig . functions. SOH , CAH, TOA. ( Said as 'soccatoa'). SOH = Sin(angle) = opposite/ hypotenuse = o/h CAH = Cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse = a/h TOA = Tan(Angle) = opposite/adjacent = o/a
How do you find the hypotenuse if you know one leg and one angle?
You need a bit more information to solve that one, because it's not clear whether the angle is opposite the leg you know or adjacent to it. If the angle is adjacent to the known leg, then divide the length of the leg by the cosine of the angle. If the angle is opposite the known leg, then divide its length by the sine of the angle.
What is HA Congruence Theorem?
HA Congruence Theorem says: If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent.
What is the length of the other leg if one is 24 and the hypotenuse is 30?
The length of the missing leg will be 18 units.
How do you find sides of right triangle given only the hypotenuse and all angles?
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
How do you use sine in math?
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
What is the hypotenuse angle theorem?
The hypotenuse angle theorem, also known as the HA theorem, states that 'if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.'
Can you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when only one side length is known and all three angles?
Yes. You will need to use trigonometry. sin (angle) = opposite/hypotenuse cos (angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse tan (angle) = opposite/adjacent
How do you find the length of a hypotenuse without using the pythagorean theorem?
If you know one side (s) and the opposite angle (a) then the hypotenuse = s/sin a...
How do find an missing angle if theres one number?
With only one number, you cannot - unless that one number happens to be the measure of the missing angle!
How do you find the area of a right angle knowing only the hypotenuse?
One other angle or the length of one other side must also be known.
How do you find the base leg of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse and one acute angle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.

What are right triangle congruence theorem?
1.HyL Theorem (Hypotenuse-Leg) - if the hypotenuse and leg of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's hypotenuse and leg, then the triangles are congruent. 2.HyA (Hypotenuse-Angle) - if the hypotenuse and angle of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's hypotenuse and angle, then the triangles are congruent. 3.LL (Leg-Leg) if the 2 legs of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's 2 legs, then the triangles are congruent. 4.LA (Leg-Angle) if the angle and leg of one triangle is congruent to another triangle's angle and leg, then the triangles are congruent.
Why Hypotenuse is not called Adjacent?
When considering an angle in a right angled triangle, the adjacent is the short side next to the angle and the hypotenuse is the long one (which will be opposite the right angle)
How do you find the two sides of a right triangle given only the hypotenuse?
To find the two sides you must have more information than just the hypotenuse. You must have one of the other sides or one of the angles besides the 90o angle.
