The length of the hypotenuse of a triangle is 20 what is the shorter leg?
You need to know something else to solve: either the long leg or the angle edit: if it is a right triangle you can use a theorem to figure out the other sides. the smallest side is a, the hypotenuse is 2a, the longer leg is a * sqrt (3) if the hypotenuse is 20, the smaller leg is 10.
In an isosceles right triangle the hypotenuse is radical three and if the hypotenuse is 12 then what is the smaller leg of that triangle?
If the hypotenuse is the square root of three, then the legs are (root 6)/2. If the hypotenuse is 12, then the legs are 6(root 2). This is because, for any given right isosceles triangle, the length of the hypotenuse x is root two times the length of the legs.
Is it possible to have a triangle with a right angle and no congruent sides?
Yes providing the sum of its smaller sides is greater than its longest side which in this case will be the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.
How does 5 12 13 make a right angle?
By Pythagorean theorem, if the sum of squares of smaller sides of a triangle equals the square of longest side, it is a right angle triangle where the long side is the hypotenuse. 5 squared plus 12 squared is equal to 13 squared
How do you find the lengths of two sides of a triangle using Pythagorean theorems?
To find the lengths of two sides of a triangle using the Pythagorean theorem, you would need to know the length of the third side. Once you have that information, you can use the theorem to calculate the lengths: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the two smaller sides of the triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Rearrange the formula to solve for the unknown side lengths.

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
Is it possible to have a triangle with a right angle and no congruent sides?
Yes providing the sum of its smaller sides is greater than its longest side which in this case will be the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.
How do you find the unknown side of a right triangle?
Use Pythagoras's equationa^2 + b^2 = c^2where c is the hypotenuse - the longest side which is opposite the right anglea and b are the two smaller legs.So, if the two legs are known and the hypotenuse is unknown:square the two known sides;add the numbers togethertake the square root.This is the measure of the hypotenuse. Suppose the hypotenuse and one side is known, the other is unkown:square the two known sides;subtract the smaller answer from the larger;take the square root.This is the measure of the missing leg.
What is the length of the other leg when a right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 13 and a leg length is 7 inches smaller?
the square root of 133
How does 5 12 13 make a right angle?
By Pythagorean theorem, if the sum of squares of smaller sides of a triangle equals the square of longest side, it is a right angle triangle where the long side is the hypotenuse. 5 squared plus 12 squared is equal to 13 squared

What is the measure of the smaller acute angle in a right triangle if one of the angle is 4 times the other?
Since the angles of a triangle add up to 180°, if one of the angles is a right angle (definition of a right triangle) then the sum of the other two will be 90°. If we designate the measure of the smaller acute angle as "x" then the other angle will be "4x" and: x + 4x = 90° so 5x= 90° and x = 18°
What shapes fit into a triangle?
anything smaller than the triangle
If the two adjacent sides of a triangle are 5 inches what is the length of the hypotenuse?
You need to use Pythagoras theorem. To find the length of the hypotenuse you square the two smaller sides and add them. Then take the square root of your answer. So in this case: 52 + 52 = 25 + 25 = 50 The square root of 50 = 7.07 inches (2 decimal places)
What is another word for to get shorter?
smaller
