∙ 13y agoFor a right angle triangle if two sides are given then the third side can be found by using Pythagoras' theorem.
a2+b2 = c2 where a = base, b = height and c = hypotenuse
By rearranging:
c2-a2 = b2
c2-b2 = a2

∙ 13y agothe unknown measurement of a side of a triangle
If you know the other two sides of the triangle, name one a2 & the other one b2 (it doesn't matter which side you call what, just make sure you plug in the 2 sides) and the unknown side (the hypotenuse) c2. The Pythagorean Theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. Try that & see if you get the answer.
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a certain side in a right triangle. If you know the length of two sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, a2+ b2 = c2, to find the length of the other side. In the formula, c is the hypotenuse, which the longest side of the triangle.
to find the unknown length of the longest side in a right angled triangle provided the length of the other two sides is known.

the unknown measurement of a side of a triangle
it can help you find the unknown length on one side of a triangle
well, i think the answer to your question is getting the measurement of the side using the Pythagorean Thereom, with the formula:c2=a2+b2.
Substitute the information that you are given into the formula.
If you know the other two sides of the triangle, name one a2 & the other one b2 (it doesn't matter which side you call what, just make sure you plug in the 2 sides) and the unknown side (the hypotenuse) c2. The Pythagorean Theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. Try that & see if you get the answer.
you must have at least 2 given sides or a given angle you can use the pythagorean theorem formula c² = a² + b² try the link below for a computation
The pythagorean principle is A squared + B squared = C squared. This is applyed when solving side lengths of triangles.
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a certain side in a right triangle. If you know the length of two sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, a2+ b2 = c2, to find the length of the other side.

It is used to find the unknown 3rd side of a right angle triangle when its other 2 sides are given and Pythagoras' theorem is:- a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of the triangle with c being its hypotenuse or longest side
to find the unknown length of the longest side in a right angled triangle provided the length of the other two sides is known.
If the traingle has 1 right angle thena2 + b2 = c2So if you square the measurement of both sides touching the right angle and add them toghther the answer is the square of the length of the other side. Square root this result and it will give you the exact length of the side.
