Where do you find the Hypotnuse?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the two sides that form a right angle.
Where is Pythagoras therom used?
this therom is used when u need to find a measurement of a side of a triangle. A, B, or C A= base B=base C= Hypotnuse HOPE I HELPED
Explain in the pythagorean theorem must be a right triangle?
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles
Can you find both sides of a triangle if only the hypotenuse is given?
No. The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle that is not adjacent to the right angle. The Pythagorean theorem says that a2+b2=h2 where h is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the other sides. Let's say the hypotnuse is 3, then a2+b2=9 a and b could be the 1 and the square root of 8 or the square root of 2 and the square root of 7 or the square root of 3 and the square root of 6. In fact, there are an infinite number of combinations of lengths that a and b could be.
A square table has a diagonal of 8 feet What is the lenght of each side?
Once you split a square down the diagonal you now have 2 right triangles. Use Pythagorean's theorem to figure the side length.a² + b² = c²Since this is a square, a = b, so you can subtitute x for both sides2x² = 8² (remember c is the hypotnuse, or the longest leg of a right triangle)2x² = 64x² = 32x = √32x ≈ 5.657 feet or 4√2 leaving your answer as a radical
How do you find the hypotnuse when you know the legs of the triangles?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
Where do you find the Hypotnuse?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the two sides that form a right angle.
What is the formula of pythagorous theorm?
height*height+base*base=hypotnuse*hypotnuse where hypotenuse is the longest side in a right angled triangle
How do you find the hypotnuse of a right triangle?
square the length of the 2 shorter sides, add them together, take the square root and you have the hypotenuse
What is side opposite to greater angle called?
Hypotnuse.
What is the length of a triangle that has a 40 inch hypotnuse and a 90 degree angle?
wel...just use the theory A2+B2=C2 Where A and/or B is the base and C is the hypotnuse. Your Welcome...(If it helped)
How do you find a triangle when you only know one side and one angle?
with a tryangle you have 3 sides. A base and a leg and a hypotnuse. if you have a base and an angle just use the trig function to find your hight.
Where is Pythagoras therom used?
this therom is used when u need to find a measurement of a side of a triangle. A, B, or C A= base B=base C= Hypotnuse HOPE I HELPED
How do you find the hypotonuse of a triangle?
A: what is the hypotnuse of a triangle?A2 + B2 = C2 With A and B as the line segments protruding from the right angle and C being the hypotenuse.By the way, you spelled hypotenuse wrong.
What is the hypotnuse angle theorem?
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
Explain in the pythagorean theorem must be a right triangle?
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles
What is the area of a right triangle with a hypotnuse of 68 millimeters and a leg of 60 millimeters?
1920 square mm Solved with the help of Pythagoras' theorem.
