The sides of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

c is the hypotenuse (the longest side) of the right triangle and a and b are the two other legs. Knowing any two sides of the right triangle, you can find the other using this formula.

Hope this helps!

you will need to use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the sides of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse
