The hypotenuse only is not sufficient to determine the area of a right triangle, unless the triangle is stated to be isosceles, or there is some other information that allows determination of the length of a side in addition to the hypotenuse. The area of a right triangle with a given hypotenuse only approaches zero as one of the two acute angles approaches zero degrees.

How do you find the hypotenuse of an equilateral triangle?

You can't as there is no hypotenuse in an equilateral triangle. The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle which is opposite a right angle (90°); all angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.


How do you find the hypotenuse of triangle?

If it has no right angles, it is not a right triangle and therefore you cannot name a hypotenuse of that triangle. Which implies you cannot find that side's measure.
