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.
How do you find the length of the legs of a right triangle or the coordinate when you are given the coordinates of the hypotenuse on a graph?
You cannot. If you draw a circle with the given hypotenuse as the diameter then the right angle of the triangle can be at ANY point on the circumfeence of the circle. Therefore, the lengths of the two legs are indeterminate.
The legs of a triangle are 5 and 12 What is the perimeter?
With sides of 5 and 12, you can make a triangle with any perimeter you want between 24 and 34. If you call them "legs" because they are the sides of a right triangle, then the hypotenuse is 13, and the perimeter is 30.
When does the Pythagoran theorem apply?
Any time there is a right triangle. The rule of a2+b2=c2 applies to the two legs squared = the hypotenuse.
If a hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13 what is the length of the legs?
You need to provide more info. With only the length of the hypotenuse known the sides can be any two numbers that when squared ad up to less than 13^2

What are the meaning of hypotenuse side of right triangle?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle.It's also the longest side of any right triangle.

In any 45-45-90 triangle the length of the hypotenuse is times the length of a leg.?
False because in any right angle triangle Pythagoras' theorem states that a^2 +b^2 = c^2 whereas 'a' and 'b' being the legs of the triangle with 'c' as its hypotenuse
How do you find the length of two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle if you only have the hypotenuse?
Since for any right triangle a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and in your case a = b so 2 a^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.
What relationship does the hypotenuse have with the circle?
The hypotenuse has no intrinsic relationship to the circle. The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle that is opposite to the right angle. You can draw a circle that has a hypotenuse as its diameter or its radius, but you can do that with any line segment. It would not be related in another way to the triangle.
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
If a hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13 what is the length of the legs?
You need to provide more info. With only the length of the hypotenuse known the sides can be any two numbers that when squared ad up to less than 13^2
Which leg corresponds to a leg in a right triangle?
Any side except its hypotenuse
What name is given to the line opposite the right angle in any right angle triangle?
The Hypotenuse.
