Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?

Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.

Are true statements about a 30-60-90 triangle?
.The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg The longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg.
Is 44mm longer or shorter than 5cm?
shorter
Can a leg of a right triangle be longer than the hypotenuse?
No.
Is 362 mm longer or shorter than 20 cm?
Longer. 362mm equals 36.2cm
How do you find the length of the sides of a right triangle when you know the hypotenuse?
If it is a 45-45-90 triangle, then divide the hypotenuse by the square root of 2. If it is a 30-60-90 triangle, then the shorter leg would be the hypotenuse divided by 2. And the longer leg would be the the shorter leg multiplied by the square root of 3.
He length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ft more than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ft more than three times the length of the shorter leg. Fin?
The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

.The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg The longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg.
The hypotenuse of a triangle is 15 feet long The longer of the two legs is three feet longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg?
The shorter leg is 9 feet long
The hypotenuse of a triangle is 10 feet long The longer of the two legs is two feet longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg?
The shorter leg is 6 feet long
How do you find the hypotenuse and longer leg of a 30 60 90 triangle?
If you have the shorter legs length, then for the hypotenuse, just multiply the shorter leg by 2. For the longer leg, multiply the shorter leg by the square root of 3.
How do you find the side lengths of a 20-70-90 triangle?
There are an infinite number of different sets of lengths that will do it. You have to start by choosing the length of one side, and when you do that, here's how to find the others: Shorter leg = (longer leg) x 0.364 Shorter leg = (hypotenuse) x 0.342 Longer leg = (shorter leg) x 2.747 Longer leg = (hypotenuse) x 0.94 Hypotenuse = (shorter leg) / 0.342 Hypotenuse = (longer leg) / 0.94
Which of the following are true statements about a 30-60-90 triangle?
The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg AND The longer leg is 3 times as long as the shorter leg.
How big do Jack Russell's get?
Long leg Jack's get to be about 20 inches or shorter on all fours and no longer than about 14 inches long. The short leg Jacks get to be about 14 inches or shorter on all fours and no longer than about 12 inches long
A model builder wants to model a right triangular lot that has legs of 135 ft and 75 ft The model is to have its longer leg 4 inches longer than the shorter leg Find the dimensions of the shorter l?
The difference between the shorter leg and the longer leg is 60ft. In the model, this distance is only 4in. Multiply 60 by 12 to get the difference in inches, 720in Divide 720 by 4 to find that the model is 180 times smaller than the real thing. Multiply the shorter leg by 12 to convert it into inches, 75*12=900 Divide 900 by 180 and you will have the length of the shorter leg of the model, 5in.
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle is 10 feet long The longer of the two legs is two feet longer than the other Find the length of the shorter leg?
Short leg is 6 feet.
What are true statements about a 30-60-90 triangle?
the longer leg is root 3 times as long as the shorter leg, and the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg.
Why is one side of the v longer than the other when birds fly?
Simple aerodynamics: the shorter leg of the "V" is upwind & the longer side is downwind. Usually.
