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).

Right Angle Triangle Hypotenuse

The hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem which states that the square of hypotenuse is the sum of squares of base and height.

Formula

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

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