What are the 2 ways to find out which is the positive leg and which is negative - led?
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
What is one of the two shorter sides of a right triangle?
Leg!
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 m long One leg is 1 m longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg Round to the nearest hundredth?
The shortest leg is 3.72 m long.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 feet long One leg is 14 feet longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg?
Let the length of the shorter leg be L, then the longer leg is L + 14.By Pythagoras then 262 = L2 + (L + 14)2 = L2 + L2 + 28L + 196 = 2L2 + 28L + 196676 = 2L2 + 28L + 196 : 2L2 + 28L - 480 = 0 : L2 + 14L - 240 = 0This can be factored : L2 + 14L - 240 = (L + 24)(L - 10) = 0As only a positive number answer applies and this is when L - 10 = 0 : L = 10.The length of the shorter leg is 10 feet.
How do you find one leg of a right triangle if you have the hypotenuse and a leg?
You're supposed to know that in every right triangle,(one leg)2 + (the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2 .Subtract (one leg)2 from each side of this equation, and you'll have:(the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2- (one leg)2You know both of the numbers on the right side. Do you think you cansubtract them and figure out the number on the left side ?
