What is the longest side of triangle called?
The longest side of a triangle is called the Hypotenuse.
When The longest side of a triangle is always opposite of what?
The longest side of a triangle is opposite to its largest angle
What is a triangle with one obtuse angle?
obtuse triangle
Longest side of a triangle is called?
In a right triangle (a triangle where one of the angles is exactly 90 degrees) , the longest side is called the hypotenuse. In non-right triangles, the longest side has no special name.
What triangle has an obtuse angle?
An obtuse triangle has an obtuse angle.
Classify the triangle with sides 10 13 19 as acute right or obtuse?
In a right triangle, a2 + b2 = c2, where c is the longest side. If the square of the longest side is more than the sum of the other two squares, the triangle has an obtuse angle. If it is less, all angles are acute.
In a Obtuse angled triangle what angle is opposite the longer side?
It is a characteristic of any triangle that the longest side is opposite the largest angle and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.
Where is the circumcenter of an obtuse triangle?
The circumcentre is outside the triangle - next to the longest line.
What is the longest side of triangle called?
The longest side of a triangle is called the Hypotenuse.
Can a scalene triangle be a obtuse triangle?
Yes, indeed. Imagine a scalene triangle sitting on its longest side. If you could push the pointy part on top down, it would eventually become an obtuse triangle.
Is the term hypotenuse associated with obtuse triangles?
No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.
When is a triangle obtuse when lengths of sides are given?
Calculate the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If this is less than the square of the remaining, third, side then the triangle is obtuse.There are three possibilities - let the three sides of the triangle be A, B and C with C the longest side (that is C ≥ A and C ≥ B). Then, if:A2 + B2 > C2 the triangle is acuteA2 + B2 = C2 the triangle is right angledA2 + B2 < C2 the triangle is obtuse
Where can the lines contain the altitude of an obtuse triangle intersect?
They can only intersect at the circumcentre, which is a point outside the triangle, beyond the side opposite the obtuse angle.
What is the longest side of a right triangle?
The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse.
When The longest side of a triangle is always opposite of what?
The longest side of a triangle is opposite to its largest angle
What do you call longest side of right triangle?
The longest side a right angle triangle is its hypotenuse
If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides of what kind of triangle?
It would be an obtuse triangle with one angle being greater than 90 degrees.
