What is the length of a hypotenuse?
A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
If ABC is a right triangle if AC6 and CB9 what is AB?
Use Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle to find the length of the 3rd side.
How can you use ratios of the side lengths to find the angle measures of the acute angles in a right triangle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
What is the height of an equilateral triangle with the side lengths of 18 center meters?
In effect an equilateral triangle is made up of two right angle triangles joined together so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the height:- 182-92 = 243 and the square root of this will be the height of the equilateral triangle which is about 15.588 cm
Do you use pythogoras theorem if you want to find the opposite or adjacent?
Yes if it's a right angle triangle.
What theorem is used to find the lengths of the sides of any right triangle?
Pythagoras' theorem
Where is pythagorean theorem used?
To find the side lengths and hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.
What can you solve in the Pythagorean theorem?
Given the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, you can find the length of the other side.
Is it better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
Yes.
How do you find the length represented the hypotenuse?
If it's a right angle triangle then use Pythagoras' theorem to find its various lengths.
Can you use pythagorean theorem to find x on a right triangle?
It depends on what x is and what information you have. For example, if no side lengths are known, the Pythagorean theorem is not going to be any use!
It is better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
yes. you can use trigonometry but phytagoreans theorem is faster and easier
How do you calculate right triangle?
In geometry and other forms of advanced math it is important to understand the angles in objects. To find a right triangle enter the lengths of the three sides into the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem.
How do you find the legs of a 90 angle triangle?
Use Pythagoras' theorem if you know any two lengths of the triangle
What is the formula to find the hypotenuse of a triangle with two sides?
Providing that it is a right angle triangle then use Pythagoras; theorem:- a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the lengths of the sides and c is the hypotenuse
What is the point of the Pythagorean theorem?
to find if the triangle is right or find missing angles. Ex: a2+b2=c2. Lengths of a triangle are 13, 10 and X. 13 is the hypotenuse so you plug it into the c2 part
What are the properties of a right-angle triangle?
A right triangle has one right angle and two acute angles. Right triangles have a hypotenuse and also two legs. You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse, or the two legs of the right triangle, as long as you have the side lengths of the other two sides on the right triangle.
