Find the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose legs are 1 unit in length.?
Using Pythagoras's theorem the hypotenuse is the square root of 2 units of length
How do you find the hypotenuse when only one length is given?
If the only information you have is the length of one side of a triangle, there are an infinite number of triangles having that length. Since the hypotenuse is defined to be "The side opposite the right angle in a plane right triangle", you will need the length of the other side to find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem. Alternatively you need to know the other angles. Then you can use the appropriate trig function to find the length of the hypotenuse.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 cm and 24 cm?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 cm and 24 cm is: 25 cm
How do I find the length of the hypotenuse with one leg equalling 12 and the opposite angle being 30 degrees?
Rearrange the sine ratio of sine = opposite/hypotenuse: hypotenuse = opposite/sine hypotenuse = 12/sine 30 degrees = 24 Therefore the hypotenuse is 24 units in length.
Can you find the length of the sides of a right triangle knowing only the hypotenuse?
No.
