a2+b2=c2

Example:

a=4

b=3

4 times 4= 16

3 times 3= 9

16+9= 25

square root of 25= 5

hypotenuse= 5

How do you calculate the hypotenus of a triangle -- not a right triangle.?

This is impossible, as a hypotenuse is only found on a right triangle.


How do you calculate height of triangle if base is 2 and hypotenuse is 3?

Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).


How do you calculate the hypoteneuse?

If it's a right angle triangle then:- a2+b2 = c2 where 'c' is the hypotenuse and the square root of this is the length of the hypotenuse when 'a' and 'b' are the other sides of the right angle triangle.


Why is the ratio of opposite to hypotenuse?

The Ratios is Sin(angle) = opposite/ hypotenuse.


How do you use sine in math?

The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.


What is the length of the hypotenuse the triangle below?

To determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ), where ( c ) is the hypotenuse and ( a ) and ( b ) are the lengths of the other two sides. If you provide the lengths of those sides, I can help you calculate the hypotenuse.


How do you calculate the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle?

An isosceles right triangle will always have its shorter sides of the same length, and the hypotenuse will always be this length times sin(45o) or times the square root of 0.5.


How do you find the hypotenuse of an equilateral triangle?

You can't as there is no hypotenuse in an equilateral triangle. The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle which is opposite a right angle (90°); all angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.


How do you find the base and height of a triangle if you only have the hypotenuse?

I'm pretty sure that only works if it is an isosceles right triangle. In that case, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the base and height knowing only the hypotenuse. A2 + B2 = C2. A=B= height= base. C= hypotenuse


Does sohcahtoa work on a 90 degree angle I have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1m no other sides or angles were provided?

No. Given a triangle with only the right angle and the hypotenuse, you cannot calculate the other sides nor the other angles.


What is hypotenuse in right angle triangle?

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle.


What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?

Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
