Look for a side that's not the longest side of the triangle.

There are two of them.

How do you find x in a right triangle?

That depends on what x is: a leg, an angle, what?


What is Hypotenuse Leg?

If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.


How do you find the base leg of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse and one acute angle?

By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.


Area of right triangle?

The area of a right triangle is dependent on the length of leg A and leg B. The formula for this is A= leg a multiplied by leg b then divided by 2.


If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 9 cm find the length of the other leg.?

Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle the other leg is 3 times the square root of 7


A right triangle with one leg 2.968 and other leg 3.504 will have a hypotenuse of?

A right triangle with one leg 2.968 and other leg 3.504 will have a hypotenuse of 4.592


Is a leg of a right triangle the same as its hypothinose?

No any leg of a right angle triangle is smaller than the length of its hypotenuse


The legs of a right triangle are altidudes?

A right triangle has a leg measuring 52 m and a hypotenuse measuring 63 m Find the length of the other leg?

36


Area of a right triangle?

Area of a right triangle = (1/2 the length of one leg) x (length of the other leg)


How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg measure?

You can't. With one leg measure, all you know about the triangle is one side (the leg) and one angle (the right angle). That's not enough to pin down any of the other parts of that triangle. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have one leg with that same length, and hypotenuses with all different lengths.
