Answer:This Pythagorean theorem calculator will calculate the length of any of the missing sides of a right triangle, provided you know the lengths of its other two sides. This includes calculating the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is the side opposite the right angle, and is the longest side. This side can be found using the hypotenuse formula, another term for the Pythagorean theorem when it's solving for the hypotenuse.
