How do you solve a 30-60-90 degree?
To solve a 30-60-90 triangle, you need to know the length of one side. The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shortest leg (the side opposite the 30 angle) The longer leg (opposite the 60 angle) is the length of the shorter leg times the square root of 3. So in summary: If you know the hypotenuse, divide it by 2 to find the shorter leg, and multiply that times the square root of 3 to find the longer leg. If you know the longer leg, divide it by the square root of 3 to find the shorter leg, then multiply that by 2 to find the hypotenuse. If you know the shorter leg, multiply it by 2 to find the hypotenuse. Multiply the shorter leg length by the square root of 3 to find the longer leg.
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 do you find the hypotenuse with only a leg and a degree?
If it's a right angle triangle and an acute angle plus the length of a leg is given then use trigonometry to find 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 do you find x in a right triangle?
That depends on what x is: a leg, an angle, what?
