What greek mathematician discovered the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle os equal to the sum of the squares of their other 2 sides?
Pythagoras.
If one leg of the isosceles right triangle is 2 feet long find the length of the hypotenuse?
Isosceles triangles have two sides which are the same length and two angles which are equal. So if your right triangle has one side of length 2 feet, which is not the hypotenuse, then the remaining side must also be 2 feet long. We know that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the squares of the other two sides. 2 squared is 4. So the squares of the two sides are 4 + 4 which equals 8. Now we just find the square root of 8, which is 2.8284... So the length of the hypotenuse is 2.83 Feet (to two decimal places). Or, In a right isosceles triangle, the two base angles equal 45°. Since the length leg is 2 ft, then the hypotenuse length would be equal to 2√2 or approximately to 2.83 ft. sin 45° = leg/hypotenuse hypotenuse = 2/sin 45° hypotenuse = 2/(√2/2) hypotenuse = 4/√2 hypotenuse = 4√2/2 hypotenuse = 2√2 °
How many squares in a 2x2 square?
5 squares. One 2 by 2 square and four 1 by 1 squares.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the lengths of the legs are 24 inches and 7 inches?
The Pythagorean theorem states that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides.[(24 in)^2 + (7 in)^2]^(1/2) = 25 in
Find the distance between the points 2 2 and 6 2?
The answer will be the diagonal (hypotenuse) for a horizontal distance x2-x1 and a vertical distance y2-y1 . The square root of the squares gives the diagonal (hypotenuse). In this case, the y difference is 0, so the distance is simply the x change of 4.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 9 and 12 rounded to the nearest tenth?
9.0
What is the hypotenuse if the legs of a triangle are 0.024 and 0.007?
To calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, the hypotenuse would be the square root of (0.024^2 + 0.007^2), which is approximately 0.025.
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with side lengths of 5 and 2?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 5 and 2 equals the square root of 29 (the sum of the squares of the other two sides) which is approximately 5.385.
What is the area of a square with a triangle with a hypotenuse of 4?
it depends on the other 2 sids
How do you use the area of a square to find the hypotenuse?
The area of a square is the square of the side (all sides of a square are of equal lengths). So taking the square root of the area would give the value of one side in linear units. Now adjacent sides of a square form a right angle. Therfore the hypotenuse would be the square root of (side^2 + side^2) but you know the value of the side from the previous step when you took the square of the area. Hence you can find the hypotenuse.

How do you find area of square if diagonal is given?
Using Pythagoras' theorem which says that the square on the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides (which in the case of a square would be equal in length). so if the diagonal measured 10 units, the square on the diagonal would be 100 square units. And as this = 2*the squares on the other sides, the square on one side would be 100/2 = 50 square units. As a square has sides of equal length the square on one side is actually the area of the square. i.e. the area of a square with a diagonal of 10 units is 50 square units. or generically the area of a square with a diagonal of length 'x' = (x2)/2
What is the surface area of a square that's height is 12m?
Squares do not have a surface area. They simply have an area. This square's area is 144m^2
How many squares are in 12 square foot?
That depends on the size of the suares. For example, there will be a million squares with sides of 0.001 ft each. If the 12 square ft area is in the form of a 6*2 rectangle, there will be space for 3 squares of 2*2. But if the area is 3*4 then 2*2 squares cannot cover it without overlap.
How many 3cm squares and 2cm squares do you need to get a total area 35sq cm?
You would need two 3 cm squares and two 2 cm squares to get a total area of 35 sq cm. A 3 cm square has an area of 9 sq cm and a 2 cm square has an area of 4 sq cm.
What is the 4 mistakes of this phrase The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side?
The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. 1. squares, not square roots 2. right triangle, not isosceles 3. sides opposite the hypotenuse, not any two 4. What are the mistakes, not what is
What is hypotenuse of a isosceles triangle?
The hypotenuse is the longest line in a right angle triangle, or the line opposite the 90 degree angle. So a hypotenuse only exists for right angled isosceles triangles. The hypotenuse is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So for example, if the one of the other sides is 1 then the hypotenuse is 2; Becuase 1 squared is 2, and as this is a right angled isosceles the other non-hypotenuse side will be the same length, so 2+2=4, then you take the square root of the sum and you get 2.
