Relationship of the hypotenuse to the legs?
hypotenuse = sqrt (leg1 sqrd + leg2 sqrd)
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
What is the relationship between the hypotenuse and a right angle?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle in the triangle.
What is the relationship between the two legs in a 30-60-90 triangle?
The longer leg is square root of 3 bigger than the short leg. That is because sin 30 = 1/2 = short/hypotenuse; cos 30 = long/hypotenuse = (sqrt 3)/2
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.
