The Pythagorean Theorem states that a triangle's hypotenuse is equal to the square's of the other two sides of the triangle.

a² + b² = c²
a = side of triangle
b = other side of triangle
c = hypotenuse (squared)

Find the square root to find the accurate length of the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find a missing side of a Right triangle when given the other two sides.


a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = Side 1

b = Side 2

c = hypotenuse ( longest side )
