How can you find the height of a right triangle when you have the base and hypotenuse?
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
The square of the 2 legs of a right triangle are equal to the square of what?
Are equal to the square of its hypotenuse.
If the legs of an isoceles right angle are 7 what is the hypotenuse?
If the legs of an isoceles right triangle are 7, then the hypotenuse is 9.9. Remember that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the sides adjacent to the right angle are equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In this case, the two sides are 7, so the square of the hypotenuse is 72 + 72, or 49 + 49, or 98. The hypotenuse, then, is the square root of 98, or about 9.9.
What is the equation for finding the sine and cosine and tangent of a triangle?
For finding the angles in a right angled triangle the ratios are: sine = opposite divided by the hypotenuse cosine = adjacent divided by the hypotenuse tangent = opposite divided by the adjacent
Why is the hypotenuse?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle and is opposite the right angle. It is always longer than the other two sides of the triangle. This is because the length of the hypotenuse is determined by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
