Question

how to i find the length of the hyptotenuse of a right triangle

Answer 1

h^2 = p^2+b^2

where h--- hypotenuse
p--- perpendicular
b--- base

Answer 2

It's pythagoras' theorem:
if the hypotenuse is c and the other two sides are a and b then in a right angled triangle you always have
a^2+b^2=c^2
so c=square root{a^2+b^2}

Answer 3

What do you know? If you know the lengths of the other two sides, the hypotenuse will be the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. If you know one angle (besides the right angle) and the opposite side from that angle, you can use the sine function to determine the hypotenuse.

Answer 4

If you are given the measures of the other two sides, you can find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem. It states that:

For every right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let the hypotenuse be 'z' and the other two sides, 'x' and 'y'.
z^2 = x^2 + y^2
z = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
Here, 'sqrt' stands for 'square root of' .

Answer 5

If C is the hypotenuse and A and B are the other 2 sides, then A² + B² = C²

Answer 6

a^2 +b^2 = c^2
example: lengths of sides=3 and 4, find hypotenuse.
3^2+4^2=c^2(hypotenuse)
9+16= c^2
25=c^2
c=5

Answer 7

add the other 2 equations together to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle. So the angle of the dangle won't be monotonous!

Answer 8

The square root of the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs.

c = squareroot (a^2 + b^2)
c = length of hypotenuse
a, b = lengths of legs

Answer 9

a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 10

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
c^2=a^2 +b^2 where c is the length of the hyp.

Answer 11

take the square root of the other two sides of the triangle squared.

c = sq. root(a^2 + b^2)
