Is the 2 legs of a triangle equal to the hypotenuse?
Not entirely. You already know that the hypotenuse is only in right triangles, and what it is, right? It's (the two legs)^2=hypotenuse^2. So, for example, if the two legs were to be 3 and 5, it would be 3^2+5^2 which would be 36. But that is the squared answer, so you have to square root it to get 6. Understand!!?
If the two adjacent sides of a triangle are 3' and 4' what is the length of the hypotenuse?
If the two adjacent sides of a triangle are 3' and 4', the hypotenuse is: 5'
What could be the ratio of the length of of the longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse?
In a 30° 60° 90° triangle, the ratio (long leg)/hypotenuse = sqrt(3)/2 ~ 0.866The ratio (short leg)/hypotenuse = 1/2 = 0.5
What Makes up a Triangle?
A triangle is the connection of 3 points (A, B, and C) where they are not all 3 collinear, and A is connected to both B and C, B is connected to both A and C, and C is connected to A and B, all via straight lines. For a Right triangle it would be Two legs and a Hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is determined by taking the two legs, squaring each than adding them together, then taking the square root of the achieved number.
The legs of a right triangle are 3 and 8 centimeters long respectively What is the length of the hypotenuse?
H = sqrt (9 + 64) ie sqrt 73 which is 8.544 cmHyp = sqrt 73 = 8.54 cmsqrt (9 + 64) ie 8.544 cm
