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.
