How to use this Right Angle Triangle Hypotenuse Calculator 🤔

  1. Enter ✎ value for length of base of right triangle (base).
  2. Enter ✎ value for height of right triangle (height).
  3. As soon as you enter the required input value(s), the Right Angle Triangle Hypotenuse is calculated immediately, and displaed in the output section (present under input section).

Formula

To calculate the right angle triangle hypotenuse, you can use the following formula.

\(h = \) \(\sqrt{ base ^2 + height ^2 } \)

Right Angle Triangle Hypotenuse

Calculation

Once you enter the input values in the calculator, the output parameters are calculated.

Examples

The following examples cover how to calcualte the Hypotenuse when length of base of right triangle, and height of right triangle are given.

1. What is the Hypotenuse of Right Triangle whose length of base of right triangle is 10 units, and height of right triangle is 15 units?

Answer

Given:

  • length of base of right triangle, base = 10 units
  • height of right triangle, height = 15 units

The formula to find the Hypotenuse of a Right Triangle is:

h = \(\sqrt{ base ^2 + height ^2 } \)

Substitute given values in the above formula.

h = \(\sqrt{10^2 +15^2 } \)

h = 18.03 units

∴ Hypotenuse, h = 18.03 units

2. What is the Hypotenuse of Right Triangle whose length of base of right triangle is 1 units, and height of right triangle is 0.5 units?

Answer

Given:

  • length of base of right triangle, base = 1 units
  • height of right triangle, height = 0.5 units

The formula to find the Hypotenuse of a Right Triangle is:

h = \(\sqrt{ base ^2 + height ^2 } \)

Substitute given values in the above formula.

h = \(\sqrt{1^2 +0.5^2 } \)

h = 1.12 units

∴ Hypotenuse, h = 1.12 units
