If you draw another altitude parallel to the height (the side which is perpendicular to the bases) of the trapezoid, you can see that a right triangle is formed.In this triangle the hypotenuse length is 17 in, and the base length equals to 28 - 16 = 12 in. From the Pythagorean theorem, height length = √(17 - 12) ≈ 12 in.Or find the measure of the angle (call it A) opposite to the height such as:cos A = 12/17A = cos-1 (12/17) ≈ 45⁰, which tells us that this right triangle is an isosceles triangle.Therefore, the height is (congruent with base) 12 inches long
The answer depends on what sort of triangle: right angled, equilateral, isosceles or scalene.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 6 and 8 inches is: 10 inches.
Its height is: (144*2)/20 = 14.4 inches
16.97056275 or about 17 inches
The median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle that is 12 inches in length is 6 inches.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 24 inches and height of 10 inches is: 26 inches.
A right triangle with a leg length of 48 inches and a hypotenuse of 80 inches has a third leg of: 64 inches.
If you draw another altitude parallel to the height (the side which is perpendicular to the bases) of the trapezoid, you can see that a right triangle is formed.In this triangle the hypotenuse length is 17 in, and the base length equals to 28 - 16 = 12 in.

What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
The answer depends on what sort of triangle: right angled, equilateral, isosceles or scalene.
15 in
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 6 and 8 inches is: 10 inches.
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
Its height is: (144*2)/20 = 14.4 inches
The approximate length of the other leg of the triangle is: 11.9 inches.
