How do you find one leg of a right triangle if you have the hypotenuse and a leg?
You're supposed to know that in every right triangle,(one leg)2 + (the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2 .Subtract (one leg)2 from each side of this equation, and you'll have:(the other leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2- (one leg)2You know both of the numbers on the right side. Do you think you cansubtract them and figure out the number on the left side ?
The legs of a right triangle are altidudes?
If one leg of a right angled triangle is regarded as the altitude then the other leg is the base.
Leg of a triangle?
It is usually a side from the apex of the triangle to the base. However, in the case of a right angled triangle a leg could refer to the two sides which define the right angle.
The hypotenuse of a 30-60 right triangle if the short leg is 2992?
The hypotenuse of a 30-60 right triangle if the short leg is 2992 is: 5984
The length of the hypotenuse of a triangle is 20 what is the shorter leg?
You need to know something else to solve: either the long leg or the angle edit: if it is a right triangle you can use a theorem to figure out the other sides. the smallest side is a, the hypotenuse is 2a, the longer leg is a * sqrt (3) if the hypotenuse is 20, the smaller leg is 10.
How do you figure out the area for a right triangle when you don't know the height?
a2 + b2 = c2 a = leg b = leg c = hypotenuse
What is Hypotenuse Leg?
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Area of right triangle?
The area of a right triangle is dependent on the length of leg A and leg B. The formula for this is A= leg a multiplied by leg b then divided by 2.
A right triangle with one leg 2.968 and other leg 3.504 will have a hypotenuse of?
A right triangle with one leg 2.968 and other leg 3.504 will have a hypotenuse of 4.592
How do you find one leg of a right triangle if you have the hypotenuse and a leg?

Do you think you cansubtract them and figure out the number on the left side ?
Is a leg of a right triangle the same as its hypothinose?
No any leg of a right angle triangle is smaller than the length of its hypotenuse
The legs of a right triangle are altidudes?
If one leg of a right angled triangle is regarded as the altitude then the other leg is the base.
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is 11 and one leg is 8 How long is the other leg?
In a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 11 and one leg of 8, the other leg is: 7.55
Area of a right triangle?
Area of a right triangle = (1/2 the length of one leg) x (length of the other leg)
what- Fill in the blanks to the Hypotenuse- Leg Congruence Theorem.If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are _____ to the _____ of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent?
congruent; hypotenuse and a leg
When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
Leg of a triangle?
It is usually a side from the apex of the triangle to the base. However, in the case of a right angled triangle a leg could refer to the two sides which define the right angle.
