Let's call the unknown length x and use Pythagoras' theorem: x2+(x+3)2 = (x+6)2 By substituting 9 for x you'll find that only 9 will satisfy the above conditions. Shorter side = 9 units Longer side = 12 units Hypotenuse = 15 units

What is the length of a hypotenuse?

A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.


What is the length of the longest side in an isosceles right triangle?

The longest length would be the hypotenuse. You can use SOHCAHTOA to find the length.

In a right triangle the sine of any angle is?

The longest side of the right angles triangle is called the hypotenuse. Divide the length of the side opposite the chosen angle by the length of the hypotenuse. This is the Sine of the angle.


How do you calculate the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle?

An isosceles right triangle will always have its shorter sides of the same length, and the hypotenuse will always be this length times sin(45o) or times the square root of 0.5.
