Let the length of the shorter leg be L, then the longer leg is L + 14.
By Pythagoras then 262 = L2 + (L + 14)2 = L2 + L2 + 28L + 196 = 2L2 + 28L + 196
676 = 2L2 + 28L + 196 : 2L2 + 28L - 480 = 0 : L2 + 14L - 240 = 0
This can be factored : L2 + 14L - 240 = (L + 24)(L - 10) = 0
As only a positive number answer applies and this is when L - 10 = 0 : L = 10.
The length of the shorter leg is 10 feet.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the lengths of the sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2. The hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg (1x), so if the hypotenuse is 4, the shorter leg is 2. The longer leg, which corresponds to √3, is then calculated as 2√3. Therefore, the length of the longer leg is approximately 3.46.
Short leg is 6 feet.
Special right triangles include the 45-45-90 triangle and the 30-60-90 triangle. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs are equal, and the hypotenuse is ( \sqrt{2} ) times the length of each leg. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg, while the longer leg is ( \sqrt{3} ) times the length of the shorter leg. To solve problems involving these triangles, use these ratios to find unknown side lengths.
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.
9,3,6 The dimensions given above would not be suitable for a right angled triangle which presumably the question is asking about. The dimensions suitable for a right angled triangle in the question are: 9, 12, 15.
The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.
If you have the shorter legs length, then for the hypotenuse, just multiply the shorter leg by 2. For the longer leg, multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the lengths of the sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2. The hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg (1x), so if the hypotenuse is 4, the shorter leg is 2. The longer leg, which corresponds to √3, is then calculated as 2√3. Therefore, the length of the longer leg is approximately 3.46.
If it is a 45-45-90 triangle, then divide the hypotenuse by the square root of 2. If it is a 30-60-90 triangle, then the shorter leg would be the hypotenuse divided by 2. And the longer leg would be the the shorter leg multiplied by the square root of 3.
Subtract the squared longer leg's squared length from the hypotenuse's square to obtain the squared shorter leg length. Then find the square root of that answer for your final answer. In other words: 53 squared minus 45 squared equals your squared answer.
The shorter leg is 9 feet long
The shorter leg is 6 feet long
The shorter leg is 1/2 of the hypotenuse, while the longer leg is (sin60°) times the hypotenuse or about 0.866 times as long. (7.8/0.866) gives the hypotenuse as 9.0 and 9.0/2 = about 4.5 unitsor use the tangent ratio:7.8/tan 60° = 4.5033321 or about 4.5 in length

Use the rule that the shortest leg has length p, the other leg has length 2p and the hypotenuse has length p*sqrt(3) Where sqrt(number) if the square root of the number.
Short leg is 6 feet.
