What descibes the relationship between the length of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
They are described by the famous Pythagoras theorem, if "a" and "b" are the legs and "h" the hypotenuse, then h x h = (a x a) + (b x b) Also a = h x sinB (where B is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side b and b = h x sinA (where A is the internal angle (of the triangle) between the hypotenuse and side a
How do you work out the base of an isosceles triangle?
Using trigonometry. The Hypotenuse x The height
What is the value of x in a triangle if the hypotenuse is 28 and the other leg is 14?
24.25
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.
Does the hypotenuse of a triangle represent a third dimension?
No, the hypotenuse of a triangle does not represent a third dimension. A triangle is a 2 dimensional figure consisting of only dimensions in terms of x and y. In order to be a 3d figure it would need dimensions defined in terms of x, y, and z.
