What is the name given to the longest side of a right angled triangle?
A hypotenuse.
How do you find sides of right triangle given only the hypotenuse and all angles?
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
What is the hypotenuse with the lengths of 5 and 6?
according to the pythagoras theorem, In a right angled triangle,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2here, 2 sides are given, that are 5cm and 6cm (or it can be in meter )so by pythagoras theorem we get,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2(hypotenuse)2 = 52 + 62(hypotenuse)2 = 25 + 36(hypotenuse)2 = 61hypotenuse = √61
If the legs of a right triangle are Cm and Cm find its hypotenuse?
No dimensions have been given but to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle use Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find angle of elevation when given hypotenuse and a base?
Given the hypotenuse and the base ...-- divide the (base) by the (hypotenuse); get a number less than '1'.-- the number is the 'cosine' of the elevation angle.-- either take the cos-1 of the number on a calculator, which is the angleOR-- look up the number in a table of cosines and see what angle it represents.
