Following the symbols in the image:

Assuming 15cm corresponds to a (the line adjacent to the angle), then you need to use the cosine formula

cos(ø) = a/h

cos(31º) = 15cm/h

h*cos(31º) = (15cm/h) * h

h*cos(31º) = 15cm * 1

h*cos(31º)/cos(31º) = 15cm/cos(31º)

h*1 = 15cm/cos(31º)

h = 16.398

What is the missing length of the right triangle which measures 15 cm by 13 cm?

We don't know whether the 15cm happens to be the hypotenuse (longest side) of the right triangle. It makes a big difference. -- If the 15cm is the longest side, then the third side is 7.483 cm. (rounded) -- If the 13cm and the 15cm are the "legs", then the hypotenuse is 19.849 cm. (rounded)

Is 7cm 11cm 15cm a right triangle?

To determine if the given measurements form a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, in this case, we would check if (7^2 + 11^2 = 15^2) holds true. Calculating this, we get (49 + 121 = 225), which simplifies to (170 \neq 225). Therefore, the given measurements do not form a right triangle.

How do you find the length of the hypotenuse if the base is 15cm and the height is 8cm?

Use Pythagoras' Theorem : In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Let H be the hypotenuse then :- H2 = 152 + 82 = 225 + 64 = 289 Then H = √289 = 17cm
