It follows that for any right triangle, you can find the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagorean Theorem. Basically, you add the squares of the legs to get the square of the hypotenuse. If one leg was A, the other was B, and the hypotenuse was C, ​\(A^2 + B^2 = C^2\)

 

So if A was 3, B was 4, then C would be the square root of 9 + 16 = 25, so the hypotenuse would be 5.

Here's a formula for C, the hypotenuse.

\(C = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2}\)

Guest you can insert your pic straight into the forum like this.

I used the imagew button and just pasted in the URL, waited just a moment and then pressed ok. :)

Guests didn't used to be able to [post pics but I think that they can now :)
