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.

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.
What is the meaning of hypothenuse leg congruence?
If the hypothenuse and leg of one triangle are congruent to the hypothenuse and leg of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
How do you measure a hypothenuse?
it should be your c value in equations

What is in a right triangle the longest side which is opposite the right angle?
That is called a "hypothenuse".
How do you know which is the smaller angle of a right triangle?
It is the angle formed by the hypothenuse and the longest of the other sides
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.
What is the length of the hypothenuse of a right triangle that has legs with lengths of 5 and 4?
sqrt (25 + 16) ie 6.4
What is the measure of an angle in a right angled triangle found by dividing the length of the side adjacent to the angle by the length of the hypothenuse?
cosine
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 155 centimeters and a leg of 124 centimeters Which of these is the length of the other leg?
From the Pythagorean theorem, leg1squared plus leg2 squared = hypothenuse squared. If leg 1 = 124 and hypothenuse is 155 then 155 squared - 124 squared is 8649 and the leg2 is square root of 8649 = 93 cm
When you use the Distance Formula you are building a right triangle whose hypothenuse goes between two given points?
hypotenuse, hypotenuse
What is the theorem that ina right triangle the sumof the squares of both sides is equal to the hypotenuse?
To the SQUARE of the hypothenuse. That's Pythagoras' Theorem.
