To determine the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The hypotenuse is the opposite side of the right angle in the triangle. It’s also the longest side of the triangle.

If a problem says that to calculate the length of hypotenuse c in a triangle with side a, side b, and hypotenuse c.

Then you are working with a right-angled triangle.

Then by Pythagoras theorem, determine the hypotenuse.


c^2=a^2+b^2
c=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2}

Then the hypotenuse side is calculated.
