What is Hypotenuse Leg?

If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.


Area of right triangle?

The area of a right triangle is dependent on the length of leg A and leg B. The formula for this is A= leg a multiplied by leg b then divided by 2.

How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg measure?

You can't. With one leg measure, all you know about the triangle is one side (the leg) and one angle (the right angle). That's not enough to pin down any of the other parts of that triangle. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have one leg with that same length, and hypotenuses with all different lengths.


Area of a right triangle?

Area of a right triangle = (1/2 the length of one leg) x (length of the other leg)


Are right triangles sometimes scalene?

Yes, they can be. For example, if one leg of the triangle is 6 inches and the other leg is 8, then the hypotenuse would be 10 inches long by the pythagorean theorem, I believe. They can not be equilateral. They can, however, be isosceles. I hope that this helps!


what- Fill in the blanks to the Hypotenuse- Leg Congruence Theorem.If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are _____ to the _____ of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent?

congruent; hypotenuse and a leg


When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?

Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height


Leg of a triangle?

It is usually a side from the apex of the triangle to the base. However, in the case of a right angled triangle a leg could refer to the two sides which define the right angle.
