What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse?
The two legs squared and added together = the length of the hypotenuse's length squared
What are the legs and the hypotenuse of any right triangle?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
How do you find both legs of a triangle with only the hypotenuse?
You can't. The hypotenuse alone isn't enough to tell you anything about the lengths of the legs. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse but different legs.
What descibes the relationship between the length of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
They are described by the famous Pythagoras theorem, if "a" and "b" are the legs and "h" the hypotenuse, then h x h = (a x a) + (b x b) Also a = h x sinB (where B is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side b and b = h x sinA (where A is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side a
When the hypotenuse is given what do you do?
you can find the legs if one of the other legs is mentioned
