Well, there are 3 sides, and if you are given the length of 2 of the 3 sides, you can calculate the other one. The longest side of the triangle is called the "Hypotenuse" and to calculate the hypotenuse you take the lengths of the other sides, square each of them, then add. Take the square root of the answer and that is the length of the hypotenuse. Now if you have the length of the hypotenuse and either of the other two sides, take the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the other known side, square each of them, add them, then the square root of the sum will equal the remaining side.

Pythagoras' theorem can be used for right-angled triangles. Using the theorem, you are able to calculate what the length of one side of a triangle is.
To measure triangles. To find the length of a triangles side, when two sides are already given.
You're given side AB with a length of 6 centimeters and side BC with a length of 5 centimeters. The measure of angle A is 30°. How many triangles can you construct using these measurements?
-- Measure or calculate the length of one side. -- Measure or calculate the length of another side. -- Measure or calculate the length of the only remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. The sum is the perimeter of the triangle. ----------------------------------- The perimeter is the sum of all three sides. Sometimes it is unnecessary to compute each side length; all we care about is the sum.
Solve this in two steps. First, based on the area, calculate the side of the length (square root of area, or by trial-and-error, find a side that, when squared, gives you 4). Then, calculate the perimeter as 4 times the length of the side.Solve this in two steps.
