Pythagoras Theroem: a2 + b2 = c2

Where a and b form a right angle and c is the hypotenus (longest side of a right angle triangle)

=> 102 + 102 = c2

{calculate the powers}

=> 200 = c2

{sqare root both sides}

=> c = sqrt(200)

c = sqrt(200) or 10*sqrt(2)

How do you calculate the missing length of a triangle?

It depends on what other information you have. Knowing the lengths of two sides of a triangle is not enough to calculate the third. You need to have some further information: and angle, the area, the length of an altitude or a median.


How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?

If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle


How do you calculate the hypoteneuse?

If it's a right angle triangle then:- a2+b2 = c2 where 'c' is the hypotenuse and the square root of this is the length of the hypotenuse when 'a' and 'b' are the other sides of the right angle triangle.


In a right angle triangle the two sides that form the right angle are both 5 inches calculate the length of the other side?

7.07 inches


How do you find the angle of a right triangle with the length of two legs?

-- Like every triangle, a right triangle has three interior angles.-- Unlike any other triangle, one of the angles in a right triangle is a right angle.The other two are both acute angles.-- One acute angle is the angle whose cosine is length of one leg / length of hypotenuse-- Other acute angle is the angle whose sine is length of the same leg / length of the hypotenuse-- The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of [ (length of one leg)2 + length of other leg)2 ]


What is an ambiguous triangle?

The answer may refer to a triangle for which the length of two sides and the measure of an angle - other than the included angle - are known.


How do you get the height of a right angle triangle with one angle 32degree and other angle 52degree?

A right angled triangle cannot have one angle of 32 degrees and another of 52 degrees. The two MUST sum to 90 degrees. Furthermore, information about the three angles is not sufficient to calculate any length for the triangle. You must know the length of at least one line - a side, an altitude or a median.


In a right angled triangle the two sides that form the right angle are both 5 inches calculate the length of the other side the hypotenuse?

7.07 inches.


What right triangle has legs of equal length?

A right-angled triangle can be an Isosceles Triangle, but NOT an equilateral triangle. An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. They form the 90 degree (right angle). The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle, and is longer than the other two sides.


How can you calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle?

By using the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is one side of the right-angled triangle and b is the other side of the right angle triangle. C stands for the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. Note: this formula only works for RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLES!!!


How do you calculate the length of a right angled triangle using the sine formulae?

The answer depends on what other information you have about the triangle.


Formula used to calculate the length of the long side of the triangle?

The formula can't even be written unless you know either -- the size of one of the other sides of the triangle, and the size of the angles at both ends of it, or else -- the size of both other sides of the triangle, and the size of the angle between them.
