Can you state the Pythagorean Theorem not just the formula?
In a right-angled triangle the area of the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides.
What is the area of an isosceles right triangle whose hypotenuse is 12 2?
The length of the hypotenuse, alone, is not sufficient to determine the area of a triangle.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 10 and a leg of length 7 What is the area?
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 10 and a leg of length 7 has an area of: 24.99 units2
Whats the theorem used for right triangles?
The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:"The area of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the remaining sides."
What is the length in cm of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle when one side is greater than the other side by 13.5 mm with an area of 1093.5 mm?
Using the quadratic equation formula and Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse works out as 67.5 mm which is 6.75 cm
What is the hypotenuse of pi r squared?
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle The area of a circle is pi*radius2
What is the area of a right angle that has a base of 3 inches height of 4 inches and a 5 inch hypotenuse?
The area of a right angle that has a base of 3 inches height of 4 inches and a 5 inch hypotenuse is: 6 square inches.
How do you find the area of a right angled triangle when knowing the base?
Knowing just the length of the base you can not work out the area. You need the height and the base or the length of the hypotenuse in order to work out the area.
Area of a right angle whose sides are 'a' and 'b' is equals?
I assume the question refers to a right angled triangle, since a rigt angle, by itself, cannot have an area. There are three possible answers - depending upon which of the sides are "a" and "b". Case 1: The right angle is between the sides "a" and "b". The area is 0.5*a*b Case 2: The side "a" is opposite the right angle (the hypotenuse). Then the third side, c is sqrt(a2-b2). The area is 0.5*b*c Case 3: The side "b" is opposite the right angle (the hypotenuse). Then the third side, c is sqrt(b2-a2). The area is 0.5*a*c
What is the area of a right-angle triangle with a 3 base 4 height and 5 hypotenuse?
Hmmm. the triangle you describe is HALF of a rectangle...
How do you find the length of a hypotenuse if the area equals 36?
If it's a right angle triangle then the dimensions of one of its sides is also needed
How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
What is the area of right angled triangle at the right?
There is no right triangle on the right! (Ignore the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.) if you have the length of the two legs (base and the upright side): (base x upright) ÷ 2 = area of the right angle triangle.
If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 10m and a base of 5mwhat is the area?
A right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10m and a base of 5m has an area of: 21.65m2
What are the two lengths of the legs of a right angle triangle with a hypotenuse of 4.2 with total area of 18?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem.
What did Pythagoras contribution to math?
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
What is the area of a right angle triangle when its hypotenuse is 10 cm and its sides are in the ratio of 3 to 4?
The sides are 6 and 8 and so the area is 0.5*6*8 = 24 cm2.
