Question 76561: How would you calculate the lengths of the two sides of a right triangle when the lengths of the two sides have a ratio of 16:9 and the length of the hypotenuse is known? Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (length of the hypotenuse^2)= .5625x^2+x^2 (9/16=.5625) thus the ration of the two unknown sides are (.5625:1)
