The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle opposite of a right angle. If you know the lengths of the two legs, or the two sides that are not the hypotenuse, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. This theorem states that the sum of each leg squared (a squared and b squared) equals the square of the hypotenuse (c squared).
a2 + b2 = c2
So:
402 + 242 = c2
1600 + 576 = c2
46.65 = c
So, if one leg is 40 feet, and the other is 24 feet, the hypotenuse is about 46.65 feet long.

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.

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 cm and 24 cm is: 25 cm
The legs of a right triangle are 9 and 15 feet long What is the length of the hypotenuse?
~ 17.493 feet
What is square feet for 24feet by 40feet?
24 ft * 40 ft = 960 ft2
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with both sides a and b are 24 feet?
Using Pythagoras it works out as 24*square root of 2 which is about 34 feet
How many square feet in 9feet by 40feet?
9 multiplied by 40 is 360. So the answer is 360 square feet.
Which is greater 500 inches or 40feet?
500 inches is 20 inches longer than 40 feet.

How many square feet in an area 40feet x 60feet?
to find square feet multiply length by width. in this example 40x60 the answer is square feet 40x60=2400sqft
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 9 feet and 13 feet?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 9 feet and 13 feet is: 15.81 feet
A right angle triangle has an angle of 16.5 degrees. and a rise of 40 feet then how many feet is the hypotenuse?
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse → hypotenuse = opposite/sin(angle) opposite = rise → hypotenuse = 40ft / sin 16.5° ≈ 140.84 ft

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.
