What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
How do you find the altitude of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem: hypotenuse^2 minus base^2 = altitude^2
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
What is hypotenuse in right angle triangle?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle.
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
What is the formula to find the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
It is: c2-b2 = a2 whereas c is the hypotenuse, b is the base and a is the altitude

How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?

What is the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle if this altitude divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 8 millimeters and 18 millimeters?
What a neat little problem ! I'll remember this one, and I'll use it. The altitude to the hypotenuse is 12.0 millimeters long.
In a right triangle when you draw an altitude to the hypotenuse are the triangles ever similar?
Only if the angles of the triangle are 90, 45, and 45.
Example problems in right plane triangle?
Here are a couple Find the altitude of a triangle with base 3 and hypotenuse 5. Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle with each side to 2
Can you show how a right triangle has one line of symmetry?
the only way for a right triangle to have a line of symmetry, is if the legs of the triangle are congruent. Or you can show that both non-right angles are congruent (45 degrees). you may also prove that the altitude of the triangle bisects the hypotenuse or that it equals 1/2 of the hypotenuse.
What is hypotenuse in right angle triangle?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle.
What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle. It is the longest of the three sides in the triangle.
If in a right triangle a is perpendicular and b is base and h is hypotenuse and an altitude p is drawn on p then is a plus b equals h plus p?
If a remains the right triangle, No
