If you know one side (s) and the opposite angle (a) then the hypotenuse = s/sin a...
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. It states that the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
the Pythagorean Theorem
pythagorean theorem.
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
If it weren't, it wouldn't have a hypotenuse!
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. It states that the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
I'm assuming Pythagorus - hence the Pythagorean Theorem of which you use to figure the length of the hypotenuse.
You learn the Pythagorean theorem.
You would use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to determine the length of a side on a right triangle.ORYou might use the Pythagorean Theorem if you are carpenter or builder. A carpenter might use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) or the length of the wall or roof. Use can use this methed or theorem in any building situation.
the Pythagorean Theorem
pythagorean theorem.
No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D
The Pythagorean Theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
Pythagorean Theorem
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a certain side in a right triangle. If you know the length of two sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, a2+ b2 = c2, to find the length of the other side. In the formula, c is the hypotenuse, which the longest side of the triangle.
