The "hypotenuse" is the length of the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle -  it is not an angle.......it is found, thusly :

 

√[ L12 + L22 ] = hypotenuse.....where L1 and L2 are legs of the right triangle

Mmm How do you find the angle of a side.

That does sound rather difficult.

 

Perhaps you could use trigonometry but you would be finding the size of an angle, not the angle of a side.  LOL
