How do you find another leg in Pythagorean theorem with the hypotenuse given?
The square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the leg you know will give you the square of the unknown leg.
If the legs of an isosceles right triangle are 6 units long What is the length of the hypotenuse?
Archimedes theorem says "the square of the hypotenuse is equal to sum of the squares of the other two sides" so in this example: hypotenuse2 = 62 + 62 = 72 hypotenuse = square root of 72 = 8.485 Alternately: Sin 45o = opposite/hypotenuse = 6/hypotenuse So hypotenuse = 6/sin 45 = 6/0.707 = 8.485
How do you determine the length of the 3rd leg in a right triangle if you have the length of the other two legs?
A right triangle only has two legs, the third side is called the hypotenuse . The square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. The square root of the difference of the square of the hypotenuse and the square of one leg is equal to the length of the other leg.
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse if you know the lengths of the other two sides?
Square the two sides then add them up and the square root of this sum gives the length of the hypotenuse
Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle if one leg is 8 and the other leg is 15?
The hypotenuse is the square root of (82 +152) = 17.
How can you find the height of a right triangle when you have the base and hypotenuse?
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
How do you find another leg in Pythagorean theorem with the hypotenuse given?
The square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the leg you know will give you the square of the unknown leg.
How can you find the base of a right triangle when you have the height and hypotenuse?
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
What describes the relationship between the lengths of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
The square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c being the hypotenuse
If the legs of an isoceles right angle are 7 what is the hypotenuse?
If the legs of an isoceles right triangle are 7, then the hypotenuse is 9.9. Remember that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the sides adjacent to the right angle are equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In this case, the two sides are 7, so the square of the hypotenuse is 72 + 72, or 49 + 49, or 98. The hypotenuse, then, is the square root of 98, or about 9.9.
Easy ways to find the Hypotenuse?
For right angled triangles it is the square root of square of side A added to square of side B (sorry i don't have a square sign on my keyboard) hypotenuse=square root of AxA+BxB
The square of the 2 legs of a right triangle are equal to the square of what?
Are equal to the square of its hypotenuse.
What is the hypotenuse of a 1 X 1 meter square?
Use Pythagoras' theorem: 12+12 = 2 and the square root of this is hypotenuse which is about 1.414213562 meters
How do you find the hypotenuse square of a right triangle?
To find the square of the hypotenuse, c, you must know the values of the other two sides (a and b). Square each of the two sides and add them together. This will be the value of the hypotenuse squared. (a2 + b2) = c2 To find the value of the hypotenuse, determine the square root of both sides of the equation. √(a2 + b2) = √c2 = c
What is the hypotenuse if the legs are 15 and 23?
If its a right angle triangle then the hypotenuse works out as the square root of 754
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 of 4 and 3?
4 squared + 3 squaured = the hypotenuse squared = 16 + 9 = 25The square root of 25 is 5 thus 5 is the hypotenuse.
