The answer depends on which angle is given: whether it is the angle made by the sloping face with the base, or the angle at the apex or even the angle that the sloping face makes with the vertical. Essentially, though, you use Pythagoras's theorem or, equivalently, the sine rule.

Why can a chord be different lengths on a given circle?

Because it's a chord not a diameter.


How to calculate the sides of a triangle given the degree of an angle and one side?

The measure of only one angle and one side is not sufficient to calculate the lengths of the sides of a triangle. If you have one more angle or one more side you can use the sine rule.


What is a complement of an eighty degree angle?

complementary angles are defined as 90 degrees - the given angle so 90-80=10 10 degree angle is complementary to an 80 degree angle


What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?

It depends on the length of the other two sides which creates that angle. Not enough information was given. However, you can simply use the Cosine rule to find it if the other two lengths are known. a2=b2+c2- 2bccosA (A=30 and a is the length of the side opposite to 30 degree angle; b and c is the length of the sides which makes up the 30 degree angle)


How do you find the length of the legs of a right triangle or the coordinate when you are given the coordinates of the hypotenuse on a graph?

You cannot. If you draw a circle with the given hypotenuse as the diameter then the right angle of the triangle can be at ANY point on the circumfeence of the circle. Therefore, the lengths of the two legs are indeterminate.


How many degrees are in a supplementary angle?

A supplementary angle is a 180-degree angle minus the number of degrees in the given angle.


What is the supplement of 75 degree angle?

The supplement of a 75-degree angle is the angle that, when added to 75 degrees, equals 180 degrees (a straight line). To find the supplement of a given angle, you subtract the given angle from 180 degrees. Therefore, the supplement of a 75-degree angle is 105 degrees.


How do you work out the diameter of a rectangle?

The diameter of a rectangle is the same as its diagonal (angle in a semicircle is a right angle). So the diagonal forms a right angled triangle with the diagonal as the hypotenuse and two sides of the rectangle (a length and a breadth) forming the legs of the triangle. If the lengths of the sides of the rectangle are known, a simple application of Pythagoras's theorem given the measure of the diagonal.

It is not possible to determine the measure of an angle if the lengths of two sides are given.


What is the transmission angle?

Angle between coupler link and output link for a given crank angle is called transmission angle, it is maximum when crank angle is 180 degree and minimum when crank angle is 0 degree


What is the degree for a complementary angle?

Two anlges are complementary if the sum of their degree is 90. So given any angle A less than 90, if angle B is complemenatry its has degree measurement 90-A.


Can a chord be in many different lengths on a given circle?

Yes, any length - from virtually zero to that of the diameter.
