Right-triangle hypotenuse
Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle from its two perpendicular legs.
Method and scope
c = √(a² + b²).
Use right-triangle hypotenuse for educational calculation or a clearly scoped arithmetic estimate. Intended for Learners, General educational use.
Inputs- First perpendicular leg — m, cm, mm, ft, in
- Second perpendicular leg — m, cm, mm, ft, in
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: The two entered legs meet at a right angle. All lengths are measured in the same geometric plane.
Limitations: Measurement uncertainty and real-world variation are not modeled.
