How do you find a missing measurement of a right triangle? - Answers

With a ruler and a brain. o_O OR, (lol), use the Pythagorean theorem, e.g.: a2+b2=c2 Let A be one leg (short side), B the other leg, and C the hypotenuse (long side). So if the measurements of the two short sides (a and b) are say, 3 and 4 , then you do: 3*3=9 4*4=16 therefore 9+16=c2 So then, it is: 25=c2 Assuming one already knows basic algebra, take the square root of both sides of the equation to get: (square root of 25)=(square root of 'c')2 And since the square root of C squared is simply C, we know that C is equal to the square root of 25, which is 5. Therefore, the missing side (C) is 5 units. Knowing algebra you can use the same equation to find any side (with any given side lengths), but C is the most common in math books.
