Answer:

the hypotenuse in a right triangle formula is c= sqrt(a^2+b^2)

Explanation:

The original Pythagorean's theorem equation is a^2+b^2=c^2 which we can take the square root of to isolate and solve for the equation for just the hypotenuse length. This of course is assuming that a and b are the legs of the triangle. Let me know if this wasn't what you were asking or if you need more clarification and I'll amend my answer
