Is it possible to solve for the other two sides of a right triangle if the Hypotenuse is 16in and you only know that there is a right angle. You also know that A does not equal B. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "No, a triangle has six pats, three sides and \n" ); document.write( "three angles. You must be given half of them, \n" ); document.write( " that is, you must have three parts, either 1 \n" ); document.write( "angle and 2 sides, 2 angles and 1 side, or all \n" ); document.write( "three sides. With only the right angle and a \n" ); document.write( "hypotenuse, that's only two parts, and it is \n" ); document.write( "not enough information to determine a triangle. \n" ); document.write( "You'd need one other part to be given.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Edwin \n" ); document.write( " |
