Pythagorean Calculator

The Pythagorean calculator is a tool that helps you find the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

If a and b are the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse, then:

c2 = a2 + b2

  1. The Pythagorean theorem only applies to right triangles, which are triangles that have one angle that measures 90 degrees.
  2. The theorem states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
  3. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem is also true: if the sum of the squares of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the length of the third side, then the triangle is a right triangle.
