a hypothenuse is a side of the triangle that is not a leg
the hypothenuse formula is c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the lengt of the hypothenuse.
The hypothenuse is the longest side of a triangle. That's why a triangle with 60 degree angles does not have a hypotenuse, onlye three sides of an equivalent length.

Bob walks 81 miles east and 126 miles east what's the displacement?
Use Pythagoras' Theorem - the hypothenuse of a right triangle is square root of (a2 + b2)Use Pythagoras' Theorem - the hypothenuse of a right triangle is square root of (a2 + b2)Use Pythagoras' Theorem - the hypothenuse of a right triangle is square root of (a2 + b2)Use Pythagoras' Theorem - the hypothenuse of a right triangle is square root of (a2 + b2)
What is the length of a hypotenuse with 9' on one side and 40' on the other?
The hypothnuse is from the Pythagorean theorem: side squared + side squared = hypothenuse squared So 9^2 + 40^2 = 81 + 1600 = 1681 hypothenuse = square root 1681 = 41 feet
Do all triangles have one hypotenuse and two sides?
No, only right triangle has one hypothenuse and two sides.
When you use the Distance Formula you are building a right triangle whose hypothenuse goes between two given points?
hypotenuse, hypotenuse
Does cos x equal cos negative x?
Yes. Cosine is adjacent side over hypothenuse. Adjacent side is the same sign when x is positive or negative.
