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.
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?
The two legs squared and added together = the length of the hypotenuse's length squared
