In calculations involving right triangles the hypotenuse is usually represented by what letter?
Using the Pythagorean formula, the hypotenuse is c and the sides a and b. The sides are usually in lower case the angles in upper case. With a right angle triangle the hypotenuse would normally be referred to as "c" though some times it is h
If a right triangle has 28 degrees angle what are the measures of the other angles a 28 and 62 b 28 and 90 c 62 and 90 or d 62 and 118 degrees?
The other 2 angles are c 62 and 90 degrees
How are the angles and sides of a right triangle related?
Two sides, A and B meet always at a right angle, that is 90 degrees. The third side, C, called the hypotenuse, meet A and B so that their angles made with A and B adds up to 90 degrees ( total of 3 inside angles = 180 ).
What is the pythagoreom theorem?
a2+b2=c2 a squared + b squared = c squared where c is the hypotenuse of a right angles triangle and a and b are either of the other two sides
How do you find the length of third side when 2 sides and all three angles are known?
The Law of Sines: with triangle ABC, the angles are A, B, & C. The sides {a, b, & c} are opposite of the respective capital letter vertex.a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C). You know the angles A, B, C; and two sides (say a & b).So side c = a*sin(C)/sin(A) = b*sin(C)/sin(B).You could also use the Law of Cosines: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b*cos(C)
