This can only be done in the case of a right angle triangle.
If 'x' represents one of the sides then the length of the two other sides must be known.

How do you find the perpendicular height of a triangle?
If it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height since it will be on of the sides. If it is an equilateral triangle, you can break it up into two right triangles and use the part above. If it is an oblique triangle, you use the angles and some trigonometry to find it. Since the area is 1/2 b x h, if you are given the area, you can solve for the height.
How do you find a pythagorean triple?
There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples. To find a Pythagorean triple take two positive integers x, y with x > y. A Pythagorean triple is of the form x2 - y2, 2xy, x2 + y2.
What is the hypotenuse of a 40 x 60 rectangle?
By splitting the rectangle into half diagonally, we obtain two right triangles with sides 40 and 60. Using Pythagorean theorem, we obtain approximately 72.11 as the hypotenuse of both of them.
What is the diagonal of square with a side of 80?
d=x√2 where d is a diagonal and x is a side d=80√2 (or 113.137)
What is the diagonal measurement of 6.5 x 6.5 square?
Use half of the square ( cut by the diagonal ) and the Pythagorean theorem. You are now working with a right triangle ( according to the drawing you should have made ) looking for the hypotenuse. and.....c2 + b2 = c2a = 6.5b = 6.5c = hypotenusec2 = 6.52 + 6.52c = sqrt(6.52 + 6.52)= 9.2====
Can you use pythagorean theorem to find x on a right triangle?
It depends on what x is and what information you have. For example, if no side lengths are known, the Pythagorean theorem is not going to be any use!
Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the side marked withy an x in the right triangle?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2, where c is the longest side (opposite the right angle). Replace the sides you know, and solve for the other side.
How do you figure out the Trigonometry theorem?
If, by trigonometry theorem you mean the "fundamental theorem of trigonometry," sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, it is actually the Pythagorean Theorem. if you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of one, sin(x) is one leg, and cos(x) is the other. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 and therefore sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1.
How do you use the pythagorean rule?
The pythagorean theorem is a2+b2=c2. To use it to find out the length of a given side of a triangle, you plug the other two sides into it. For example, if you have a triangle that has two feet (a and b in the pythag. theorem) of 8 cm and 12 cm, and the hypotenuse was x, you would plug them into the equation: 82+122=x2 and then you would solve. 64+144=x2 208=x2 4√13=x
What must you do to non-perpendicular vectors before you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the resultant of the vectors?
You must find the x and y components of each vector. Then you add up the like x components and the like y components. Using your total x component and total y component you may then apply the pythagorean theorem.
How can you write an expression for cos x in term of sin x using pythagorean theorem?
cos2 x + sin2 x = 1 cos2 x = 1 - sin2 x
Calculate the length of the diagonal of a square with sides of 6 cm?
To calculate the diagonal, use the Pythagorean Theorem.6^2 + 6^2 = x^236 + 36 = x^272 = x^2sqrt72 = xx = 8.485.....
What is the area of a rectangle with a side of8 and diagonal of 10?
Area = length x width. You have one of the sides; to get the other side, use the Pythagorean Theorem. Then multiply the two sides.
What is the distance between -7 5 and -6 -4?
The idea is to use the Pythagorean theorem: take the square root of (square of the difference in x-coordinates + square of the difference in y-coordiantes).
How to find resultant force?
To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.
How do you use the Pythagoras theorem in circle?
In a circle that has a radius of one you use Pythagorean theorem to derive the sine, cosine and tangent formulas. Draw a circle around the origin on graph paper. The sine is the line segment from the point where the side of the angle intersects down to the x-axis. etc.
What is the delta in mathematics?
Delta is a symbol used in mathematics and science that represents change. For example, delta y over delta x means the change in y over the change in x.
