The legs of a right triangle are altidudes?
If one leg of a right angled triangle is regarded as the altitude then the other leg is the base.
If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 9 cm find the length of the other leg.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle the other leg is 3 times the square root of 7
How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg measure?
You can't. With one leg measure, all you know about the triangle is one side (the leg) and one angle (the right angle). That's not enough to pin down any of the other parts of that triangle. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have one leg with that same length, and hypotenuses with all different lengths.
How do you find one leg of a right triangle if you have the hypotenuse and a leg?
You're supposed to know that in every right triangle,(one leg)2 + (the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2 .Subtract (one leg)2 from each side of this equation, and you'll have:(the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2- (one leg)2You know both of the numbers on the right side. Do you think you cansubtract them and figure out the number on the left side ?
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 13cm and one leg that measures 12cm what is the length of the other leg?
