What is the hypotenuse of a right angle with the legs of 24 and 32 inches?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the hypotenuse is 40 inches
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs the lengths of 14 and 48?
Using Pythagoras: hypotenuse² = leg_1² + leg_2² = 14² + 48² = 196 + 2304 = 2500 → hypotenuse = √2500 = 50 units.
What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse?
The two legs squared and added together = the length of the hypotenuse's length squared
What are the legs and the hypotenuse of any right triangle?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
How do you find both legs of a triangle with only the hypotenuse?
You can't. The hypotenuse alone isn't enough to tell you anything about the lengths of the legs. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse but different legs.
