No because the hypotenuse is used to show which line is the longest in the triangle therefore it will always be the longest.

The hypotenuse of a 30-60 right triangle if the short leg is 2992?

The hypotenuse of a 30-60 right triangle if the short leg is 2992 is: 5984


What is the relationship between the short leg and the hypotenuse 30-60-90 triangle?

The short leg is equal to one-half of the hypotenuse. ( sin 30 = opposite/hypotenuse = short leg/hypotenuse = 1/2)


How do you find lentgh of sides in a 30 60 90 triangle?

Short leg= hypotenuse/2 hypotenuse= short leg*2 long leg= short leg * the square root of 3


Is a hypotenuse short?

It may be of any length but it is always the longest side in a right-angled triangle.


How do you find the hypotenuse of an equilateral triangle?

You can't as there is no hypotenuse in an equilateral triangle. The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle which is opposite a right angle (90°); all angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.


What is the solution to pi plus the squared hypotenuse of a 90 degree right triangle?

It is not possible to answer the question because the squared hypotenuse can have any positive value.


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.


What could be the ratio of the length of of the longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse?

In a 30° 60° 90° triangle, the ratio (long leg)/hypotenuse = sqrt(3)/2 ~ 0.866The ratio (short leg)/hypotenuse = 1/2 = 0.5


What is hypotenuse in right angle triangle?

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle.


The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?

True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)


What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?

Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.


Is the hypotenuse on a triangle always the longest side?

Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse, and yes,when there's a hypotenuse, it's the longest side.
