What is the converse of Pythagoras's theorem?
The converse of Pythagoras's theorem states :- "If the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of square of other two sides then the triangle is a right angled triangle""
Can the sides of a right triangle be 16 30 and 34 in?
Yes because the given dimensions complies with Pythagoras theorem for a right angle triangle
What is the length of x if one leg is 13 and the other leg is 45 degree?
If it's a right angle triangle then the other leg will also be 13 units in length and use Pythagoras' theorem if you need to find the length of the hypotenuse.
Pythagoras determined that the length of any side of an is based on the length of its other two sides?
right triangle
What were the major accomplishments of Pythagoras?
Pythagoras is known or the... "Pythagorean theorem" or that.. The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles The Pythagorean theorem Constructing figures of area Discovery of irrationals Five regular solids Earth is a sphere at the center of the universe (astronomy) Pythagoras Theorem The hypotenuse of a right triangle when squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
When A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 25 and a leg of length 20 what is the length of the other length?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the other length is 15 units of measurement.
What is the converse of Pythagoras's theorem?
The converse of Pythagoras's theorem states :- "If the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of square of other two sides then the triangle is a right angled triangle""
What information is needed to apply Pythagoras Theorem?
Pythagoras theorem simply tells you the length of a side of a Right Angled Triangle if the other two sides are given. You only need the length of any two sides to calculate the length of the third onePythagoras theorem:Hypotenuse2 = base2 + perpendicular2
Pythagoras determined that the length of any side of a(n) is based on the length of its other two sides?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle that its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 20 and a leg of length 12 What is the length of the other leg?
Use Pythagoras' theorem: 202-122 = 256 Square root of 256 =16 Length of the other leg is 16 units.
What is the length of a leg of a triangle if the other leg is 8 feet long and the hypotenuse is 10 feet long?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it works out as 6 feet
Can the sides of a right triangle be 16 30 and 34 in?
Yes because the given dimensions complies with Pythagoras theorem for a right angle triangle
What is the length of x if one leg is 13 and the other leg is 45 degree?
If it's a right angle triangle then the other leg will also be 13 units in length and use Pythagoras' theorem if you need to find the length of the hypotenuse.
How do you calculate the length of s hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem?
In a right triangle, square the lengths of the other two sides and add them together. The length of the hypotenuse will be the positive square root of that number.
Hypotenuse of a right triangle measure 2.5 inches if one leg measure 1.5 inches what is the length of the other leg?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 2 inches
From which civilization did Pythagoras borrow the 'Pythagorean Theorem'?
Pythagoras did not borrow the Pythagorean Theorem from any particular civilization. The theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, was discovered by Pythagoras himself and is named after him.
If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 9 cm find the length of the other leg.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle the other leg is 3 times the square root of 7
