Using Pythagoras's theorem the hypotenuse is the square root of 2 units of length
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 is: 25 cm
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.
No.
Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 8 and 15 units in length.

In Trigonometry, the Hypotenuse is represented by the letter "h".
A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 cm and 24 cm is: 25 cm
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.
In a right angles triangle the sides are named the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) and the other two sides are called the adjacent and the opposite sides. 1) The sine of an angle = length of the opposite side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. 2) The cosine of an angle = length of the adjacent side ÷ length of the hypotenuse. Using 1) The length of the hypotenuse = length of the opposite side ÷ the sine of the angle. Using tables or a calculator obtain the sine of the angle and divide this into the length of the opposite side. The result will be the length of the hypotenuse.
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
No.
You can't. You need some more information. If you only know the length of the hypotenuse, you can draw an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse.
The longest length would be the hypotenuse. You can use SOHCAHTOA to find the length.
