The answer will depend on the context in which the legs are defined. Since no information on that is provided, it is not possible to give a more helpful answer.
there was a point of time in the early 80's when there was a trend of tattooing a + or - on yourself as an indication of if you were HIV + or HIV-. if some one who was negative became positive they sould just change the negative to a positive of get a positive tattooed next to it. however it could symbolize nothing and just look neat, or it could symolize something to the person who has it.
The length is 10 STEP by STEP: Pythagorean Theorem: c2=a2+b2 let c=hypotenuse and let a = leg with the length of 6 and let b = leg with the length of 8 c2=62+82 c2=36+64 c2=100 (get the square root of both sides) c=10 (square root of a 100 is actually positive 10 and negative 10, however, since a length or any size cannot be a negative number, then the only answer is positive 10) The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 6 and 8, is 10.
Arithmetic:What is -15 more than 20?Algebra:-15x+21=111; what is x?Geometry(yes, I know this is positive 15 but whatever):If a right triangle has one leg length 12 and hypotenuse 15, what is the other leg?
the negative leg is shorter than the positive leg.
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
Current flows from the anode (positive terminal) to the cathode (negative terminal) in a LED. The longer leg of the LED indicates the positive anode side, while the shorter leg represents the negative cathode side.
Cathode (negative) is the shortest leg and there is a flat edge on the base of the LED, and it must be connected to the negative wire or "-" connection. Anode (positive) is the longest leg, and must be connected to the positive wire or "+" connection, as electricity will only pass through a LED from positive to negative.
The longest leg is the positive leg of any LED.
The longer leg of an LED is typically the positive (+) terminal, while the shorter leg is the negative (-) terminal. Additionally, the positive leg usually has a flat edge or a notch near it as a visual indicator.
Current will only flow one way through an LED, so it has a positive leg and a negative leg. One of them is longer to signify which is which (longer is negative). The negative side also has a chamfered edge on the LED itself.
I'm not sure what you are asking. Could you please provide more context or clarify your question?
because the negative leg is shorter.
The length of the legs. The positive leg is always longer than the negative one.
L.E.D has one leg longer then the other one, the longer one is positive and the smaller one is negative. If you have a l.e.d which has same length of legs then look inside the l.e.d for two kind of triangle peices and one of them will be smaller which is positive and one which is bigger and is negative.
The longer leg on a LED light is called the anode. It is usually the positive terminal and is marked with a longer leg or a "+" symbol.
