The "hypotenuse" firstly is the longest side of a triangle. This is where the perpendicular sides are joined together by a longer diagonal side. Now, to work out what the length of an hypotenuse, it is essential to know what "Pythagoras Theorem". This is the equation that A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are any side on the triangle other than the hypotenuse and C is the hypotenuse. To square a number, you just have to times it by itself, so if we square 10, it would be 10X10 which is a hundred. After you square A and B, you simply add them both together.

How do you determine the length of a right triange side?
by finding out the hypotenuse of the triangle
What is the length of the hypotenuse rounded to one decimal place?
opposite^2+adjacent^2=hypotenuse^2 ____________ X=/hypotenuse^2 One decimal place would be, for example. 22.7 cm
When A 45-45-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 14 What is the length of one of its legs?
14 radical2
If the shortest leg of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 12 what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Hypotenuse = 24
If the shortest leg of a 30-60-90 triangle has length 15 the length of the hypotenuse is?
The hypotenuse is 30.
