If the triangle is a right triangle, where one angle is equal to 90o, Then you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. To use this, label each side of the right triangle a, b, and c, in which c is the hypotenuse/longest side/side opposite of the 90o angle; a2+b2=c2 . Just input the values into this equation and you are able to get one side as long as you know the other two.
If the triangle is not a right triangle, then you would need to know an angle of one of the sides already known in order to use the law of cosines.
-- Find the length of one side. -- Find the length of another side. -- Find the length of the remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. -- Their sum is the perimeter of the scalene triangle.
If the triangle is equilateral, you simply divide the perimeter by three to find the length of each side. If the triangle is not equilateral, you will need more information to determine the length of each side.
To find the altitude or height of an equilateral triangle, take one-half of the length of a side of the triangle and multiple by "square root" of 3. So, if for example, the side has length 10, the height = 5 Square root of 3.
To find side lengths on a triangle, you need to know at least one of the sides. The possible combinations for solving* a triangle are: side, side, side; side, angle, side; angle, side, angle; angle, side, longer side. *To solve a triangle is to find the lengths of all the sides and the measures of all the angles.
ABC is an equilateral triangle with side length equal to 50 cm. BH is perpendicular to AC. MN is parallel to AC. Find the area of triangle BMN if the length of MN is equal to 12 cm.
A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the side of the triangle, and it's length is half the length of that side
A radius of a regular triangle is 12 . find the length of one side of the triangle?
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.
-- Find the length of one side. -- Find the length of another side. -- Find the length of the remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. -- Their sum is the perimeter of the scalene triangle.
If the triangle is equilateral, you simply divide the perimeter by three to find the length of each side. If the triangle is not equilateral, you will need more information to determine the length of each side.
The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.
-- Area of a triangle = 1/2 of (length of the base times height) -- Perimeter of a triangle = (length of one side) + (length of another side) + (length of last side)
You divide the length of the shortest side by the length of the longest side.
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.
The answer depends on what information you do have.
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a certain side in a right triangle. If you know the length of two sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, a2+ b2 = c2, to find the length of the other side. In the formula, c is the hypotenuse, which the longest side of the triangle.
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in length
