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 describes the relationship between the lengths of the legs and the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

The square of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c being the hypotenuse


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


The legs of a triangle are 5 and 12 What is the perimeter?

With sides of 5 and 12, you can make a triangle with any perimeter you want between 24 and 34. If you call them "legs" because they are the sides of a right triangle, then the hypotenuse is 13, and the perimeter is 30.


A right triangle has legs 6cm and 8cm How far from the vertex must this triangle be cut by a line parallel to the longer leg so that the area of the smaller right triangle is equal to the area of the?

it is 24in The area of the first triangle is 24 [(6*8)/2]. The area of the smaller triangle is 12 [24/2]. The two legs will have a relationship of [4/3x to x], the same as any right triangle.


What is Hippocrates theorem about the circle?

Hippocrates' theorem states that if a right triangle is inscribed in a circle, the area of the circle can be expressed as the sum of the areas of the squares constructed on the two legs of the triangle. This theorem illustrates a geometric relationship between the triangle and the circle, highlighting that the area of the circle (when a right triangle is inscribed) equals the combined areas of the squares on its two shorter sides. It serves as an early insight into the connection between geometry and area.


Why is an isosceles triangle called an icsosceles triangle?

isos = equal, skelos = legs. A triangle with two equal legs is isosceles (not icsosceles!).


What is the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse?

Is a triangle with two congruent legs always a 45-45-90 triangle?

No. The triangle is an isosceles triangle and the angle between the equal sides can be any angle greater than 0° and less than 180°.
