How do you find the third side of a right triangle?

HomeArticles, FAQHow do you find the third side of a right triangle?

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squared sides of a right triangle equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. If you know the length of any 2 sides of a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean equation formula to find the length of the third side.

Q. What is the formula for side length?

Finding the missing side of a right triangle is a pretty simple matter if two sides are known. One of the more famous mathematical formulas is a2+b2=c2 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , which is known as the Pythagorean Theorem.

Q. How do you find the missing side length?

The Pythagorean theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 in a right triangle where c is the longest side. You can use this equation to figure out the length of one side if you have the lengths of the other two. The figure shows two right triangles that are each missing one side’s measure.

Q. Does 4 5 6 make right triangles?

2 Answers. They are equal, and thus, the triangle is a right triangle. When the side lengths of a triangle are in the ratio 3: 4: 5, then it is a right triangle.

Q. What kind of triangle does 4 5 6 make?

right triangle

Q. Can a 30 40 50 Make a right triangle?

Pythagoras’s Theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Actually a 30 , 40 , 50 triangle is just a scaled up 3 , 4 , 5 triangle, which is a well known right angled triangle.

Q. Does each set of numbers form a Pythagorean triple 4 5 6?

For a set of three numbers to be pythagorean, the square of the largest number should be equal to sum of the squares of other two. Hence 4 , 5 and 6 are not pythagorean triple.

Q. Does 20 21 and 29 make a right triangle?

A triangle with sides of lengths 20, 21, and 29 is a right triangle.

Q. Does 9 12 and 15 make a right triangle?

The three sides 9 in, 12 in, and 15 in do represent a right triangle. Since the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, this is a right triangle.

Q. Does 5/6 and 7 make a right triangle?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get: 5^2 + 6^2 = ? = 7^2 This equation is not true, and therefore the triangle is not a right triangle. The side lengths 5, 6 and 7 are very close to one another, and so the triangle must have essentially similar interior angles, which means that all three angles are acute.

Q. Does 6 8 and 10 make a right triangle?

Answer: Yes, a triangle has side lengths 6, 8, 10 is it a right triangle.

Q. How do you know if it is a right triangle?

The definition is very simple and might even seem obvious for those who already know it: a right-angled triangle is a triangle where one and only one of the angles is exactly 90°. The other two angles will clearly be smaller than the right angle because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

Q. Does 10 24 26 Make a right triangle?

Yes. For right triangles, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides is equal to the square of the longer side. Thus, this is a right triangle if 10^2+24^2=26^2. Expanding these squares, we have 100+576=676, which is true.

Q. Does 20 48 52 Make a right triangle?

No. These sides do not form right triangle.

Q. Does 5 12 and 13 form a right triangle?

Yes, a right triangle can have side lengths 5, 12, and 13. To determine if sides of length 5, 12, and 13 units can make up the sides of a right…

Q. Does 12 16 and 20 make a right triangle?

So we type GCF(12,16,20) and we get 4. And lo and behold, we get a Pythagorean Triple of 3, 4, 5. So yes, this is a right triangle.
