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.
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
I'm pretty sure that only works if it is an isosceles right triangle. In that case, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the base and height knowing only the hypotenuse. A2 + B2 = C2. A=B= height= base. C= hypotenuse
If it is a right angled triangle then this is known as Pythagoras' theorem: height2+base2 = hypotenuse2 ⇒ hypotenuse = √(height2 + base2)
Let consider the right triangle ABC with hypotenuse AB and heigth AC then base is BC Pythagorean theorem states that AB2=AC2+BC2 so BC2=AB2-AC2 then BC=sqrt(AB2-AC2)
If you know the base and the hypotenuse (the other line that isn't the height), the hypotenuse squared minus the base squared equals the height squared. Example: base = 5 hypotenuse = 13 a2 - b2 = c2 25 - 169 = c2 144 = c2 12 = c height is 12
Its base or its height
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 24 inches and height of 10 inches is: 26 inches.
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a 13 cm base and a 6 cm height is 14.32 cm
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 3 feet and a height of 12 feet is: 12.37 feet.
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
The hypotenuse is 14.14 feet.
I'm pretty sure that only works if it is an isosceles right triangle. In that case, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the base and height knowing only the hypotenuse. A2 + B2 = C2. A=B= height= base. C= hypotenuse
The area of a right triangle with base of 8 and height of 8 is: 32 square units. The hypotenuse is 11.31 units.
Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).
height*height+base*base=hypotnuse*hypotnuse where hypotenuse is the longest side in a right angled triangle
Using Pythagoras' Theorum: (height)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2 - (base)^2
