Pythagorean theorem: Explanation and example
Find a missing side of a right triangle.
Explanation and example
The squares of the legs add to the square of the hypotenuse: a² + b² = c². Leave exactly one side blank.
Example: legs 3 and 4 give hypotenuse √(9 + 16) = 5.
Limits
Only valid for a right triangle. The hypotenuse must exceed either leg. Known lengths must be positive and use one unit.
