Hypotenuse Calculator
Calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²).
Pythagorean Theorem
Formula
c = √(a² + b²)
where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the legsProperties
- The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle
- The hypotenuse is opposite to the right angle (90°)
- The sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse
Note: The Pythagorean theorem only works for right triangles, where one angle is exactly 90 degrees.
