How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
What are facts about right triangles?
The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse is the sine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side adjacent to a given angle to the hypotenuse is the cosine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the side adjacent to that angle is the tangent of that angle.
Given a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c the Pythagorean theorem tells you that?
c2 = a2 + b2
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 other two sides of a triangle when given a hypotenuse?
Unless you are given atleast 2 other angles, there is no way to find them out.
What is the length of altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a triangle with given sides of 7 and 21?
If it's a right angle triangle then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the 3rd side

How do you find the length of the sides of a right triangle given the hypotenuse?
You can't. You need some more information. If you only know the length of the hypotenuse, you can draw an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse.
How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when only a side length and angle is given?
Dependent on what side you are given you would use Sin(Θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse just rearrange the formula to Hypotenuse = Opposite/Sin(Θ). Or if you are given the adjacent side use Cosine(Θ)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, then: Hypotenuse = Adjacent/Cosine(Θ)
For a given angle the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the hypotenuse is called the?
Sine.
How do you find the measures of a right triangle if the length and width are given?
The answer will depend on whether the length is the hypotenuse or one of the legs of the triangle.
How do you calculate the length of a side of a triangles?
Well, there are 3 sides, and if you are given the length of 2 of the 3 sides, you can calculate the other one. The longest side of the triangle is called the "Hypotenuse" and to calculate the hypotenuse you take the lengths of the other sides, square each of them, then add. Take the square root of the answer and that is the length of the hypotenuse. Now if you have the length of the hypotenuse and either of the other two sides, take the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the other known side, square each of them, add them, then the square root of the sum will equal the remaining side.
Given a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c the Pythagorean theorem tells you that?
c2 = a2 + b2
In the given right triangle find the length of the hypotenuse AB if BC 6 and AC 5.?
The length is sqrt(61) units.
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 get adjacent with a given hypotenuse?
Knowing the length of the hypotenuse doesn't tell you the length of either adjacent side. You also need to know at least one other piece of information, like the other side, or an angle.
