How do u find the hypotenuse of a triangle?

[Gtweaker]

i forgot my book at home and i dont know....soo how do u get the longes side or hypotenuse of a triangle?

 

[snowdiver]

a^2+b^2=c^2

 

[AndrewZ]

i havn't taken math since junior year but i think that its a^2 + b^2 = c^2 but it only works on right triangle or you gotta start using sine and cosine and such

 

[Pisces]

or you can do it the fun way and use sin/cos/tan if they give you the inside angles of the triangle.

 

[mind_Riot39]

what are u in like 7th grade?

 

[SARTRON]

SOHCAHTOA

 

[Pisces]

the only reason i pssed any of my tests was because of SOHCAHTOA i still dont know them without that

 

[396222687862]

holy shit, i remember that.

 

[freezed]

I still use SOHCAHTOA like every day and I'm in Calc II in college.

length of one leg squared (or if your so stupid you don't know what squared is just multiply that number by itself) then do that with the other leg of your triangle and you've got it!

 

[Pisces]

or you can do the pythagorean theorem, but thankfully (i guess) i dont remember it anymore. i just remember it being a ppain in the ass.

 

[C-Burg]

you only have hypotenusi on right triangles

AYE squared PLUS BEE squared EEKWALS CEE squared.

so the answer is obviously sloth.

 

[ski_cartel]

i remember that shit

 

[DDrem.]

math pwned!

 

[grams.]

wow..just wow

 

[suzia]

those words make my mouth go crazy for some reason

 

[chapz]

its what peope have said, A squared + B squared = c squared, thats the Pythagorean theorem.

 

[soulskier]

add up the length of the legs squared and take the square root of the combined total legs

 

[Gtweaker]

9th dawg...GEOMETRY

 

[Gtweaker]

oooo i see cas it wasnt working for me on the other ones...it would end up being way to not realistically long

 

[Jacobamf]

Whats that stand for? I've never heard it before

 

[[~_~]]

you're in 9th grade geometry and you're learning the Pythagrian Theorem? lucky bastard. we did thats stuff in 6th grade.

 

[newschooler7]

ahahah. that saved my ass so many times on math tests. that was so long ago and i still remember it.

SOH = Sine, opposite over hypotenuse

CAH = Cosine, adjacent over hypotenuse

TOA = Tangent, opposite over adjacent

SOHCAHTOA

[jack_weisman]

square root of a^2+b^a

 

[deleted4]

yeah are you fucking retarded or just really young

 

[anna*]

its either a^2+b^2=c^2

OR

SOH CAH TOA

OR

side a/sinA=side b/sinB=side c/sinC (sine rule)

just shove the values in and then rearrange to make the unknown the subject

 

[*BeckyK*]

whats that?

 

[Schoening]

SOH= Sin - Opposite over Hypotnuese

CAH= Cosine - Adjacent over Hypotneuse

TOA= Tangent - Opposite over Adjacent

 

[Schoening]

SOH= Sin - Opposite over Hypotnuese

CAH= Cosine - Adjacent over Hypotneuse

TOA= Tangent - Opposite over Adjacent

 

[user098123]

Do you not read the thread? I posted the whole thing like 3 up from you...

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

...with diagrams and the cosine rule!

 

[*rkp*]

are you fucking retarded? like seriously!

 

[mattster]

Learn some fucking math and stop calling it the pafagrian theorem you hate monger.

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

Sin(theta) = opposite/adjacent

Cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse

Tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

I figured since its been explained about 30 times I'd do it again.

 

[powderdream]

your such a nerd hahaha

 

[Chubby.Chaser]

How is the Pythagorean thereom hard? I could write a proof for the thereom in less time than it took to write this.

 

[Chubby.Chaser]

basically it's the easiest thereom i can think of to prove or use

 

[GnarBurger]

A squared + B squared = C squared

 

[*i<3snow*]

i ALWAYS use sohcahtoa. ALWAYS. everyday. that's the one thing in calc i always get right..

 

[anna*]

thanks for that nick....
