Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?
Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle with one leg nineteen centimetres and the other leg eight centimetres?
The length of the hypotenuse of a triangle with one leg 19 cm and the other leg eight cm is: 20.62 cm
What is the hypotenuse leg therom?
If two right triangles have the hypotenuse and leg of one equal respectively to the hypotenuse and leg of the other, then the triangles are congruent.
In a right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 20 inches and the length of one leg is 15 inches what is the length of the other leg?
There is a famous theorem that you use to solve this problem, namely the Pythagorean theorem which says that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the opposite sides. (The hypotenuse is the longest side; the other sides are commonly called legs.) If you know the hypotenuse and one leg you can find the other leg by simple algebra. Just subtract the square of the leg you know from the square of the hypotenuse and take the square root of this difference. Bingo! You have your answer.
