The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 15 cm and 20 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 12 inches and 16 inches is: 20 inches.
20
(15)2 + (20)2 = 225 + 400 = 625 Hypotenuse = sqrt(625) = 25
If its a right angle triangle then the hypotenuse using Pythagoras 2 times the square root of 149
If a right triangle has sides of 16Cm and 12Cm, the hypotenuse is: 20 cm

No. Pythagoras' theorem states that when the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides then it is a right-angled triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side (opposite the supposed right angle). In this case the hypotenuse is 20. The square of 20 is 400. The other two sides are 12 and 15. The square of 12 is 144 and the square of 15 is 225. The sum is therefore 225 + 144 = 369, which is not equal to 400, therefore the triangle cannot be a right-angled triangle.
20 units
Using Pythagoras' theorem its hypotenuse will be 20
the hypotonose of a triangle is the square root or one side squared plus the other side squared.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 25 and a leg of length 20. Applying Pythagoras theorem , h sq .= b sq. + p sq. 25 X25 = 20 X 20 + sq.p. 625 -400= perpend sq. now.perpendicular = sqrt (225) =15 ( as no units are not given ).
You need to know something else to solve: either the long leg or the angle edit: if it is a right triangle you can use a theorem to figure out the other sides. the smallest side is a, the hypotenuse is 2a, the longer leg is a * sqrt (3) if the hypotenuse is 20, the smaller leg is 10.
