Use Pythagoras' theorem:
202-122 = 256 and the square root of 256 is 16
So the length will be 16 units.
16 that dumb a s s below me almost made me fail. Apex...
Using Pythagoras' theorem its hypotenuse will be 20
The measure of the other leg is 12 feet. Use Pythagorean's theorem for right triangles: a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the respective lengths of the legs of the triangle. Since the hypotenuse is 20 ft, c = 20 ft. We are also given that one of the legs is 16 ft, so a = 16 ft. We want to solve for the other leg, b. Algebraically manipulating Pythagorean's theorem, we get: c2 - a2 = b2. When we plug in the known values, this equation becomes: 202 - 162 = 144 = b2. Thus, b = √(144) = 12 ft.
If the sides of the triangle are 20 and 15 then by using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse works out as 25 units of measurement.
Pythagorean theorem: A2 + B2 = C2 If, A = 15 and C = 25, solve for B. 152 + B2 = 252 225 + B2 = 625 B2 = 625 - 225 B2 = 400 B = sqrt(400) B = 20 Therefore, the missing side is 20.
The other leg length is 16.

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 25 and a leg of length 20. Applying Pythagoras theorem , h sq .= b sq. + p sq. 25 X25 = 20 X 20 + sq.p. 625 -400= perpend sq. now.perpendicular = sqrt (225) =15 ( as no units are not given ).
You need to know something else to solve: either the long leg or the angle edit: if it is a right triangle you can use a theorem to figure out the other sides. the smallest side is a, the hypotenuse is 2a, the longer leg is a * sqrt (3) if the hypotenuse is 20, the smaller leg is 10.
There is a famous theorem that you use to solve this problem, namely the Pythagorean theorem which says that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the opposite sides. (The hypotenuse is the longest side; the other sides are commonly called legs.) If you know the hypotenuse and one leg you can find the other leg by simple algebra. Just subtract the square of the leg you know from the square of the hypotenuse and take the square root of this difference. Bingo! You have your answer.
Using Pythagoras' theorem the other length is 15 units of measurement.
It depends on which leg is 850... If the leg on the bottom is 850, then you do 850/cos(20) (which gives you 904.55), if it is the leg on the side, then you do 850/sin(20) (which gives you 2485.233). You get this by solving for the formula Cos(Angle)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, or Sin(Angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras' theorem: 252-152 = 400 and the square root of this is 20 units in length.
