How to Use Pythagorean Theorem & Right Triangle Solver

  1. Step 1: Enter Known Sides

    Input any 2 sides (Leg A, Leg B, or Hypotenuse C).

  2. Step 2: Get Missing Measurements

    View the calculated third side, internal angles (degrees and radians), and area.

Key Features & Capabilities

  • Solves for Hypotenuse $c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ or missing Leg $a = \sqrt{c^2 - b^2}$
  • Calculates internal angles using trigonometric arcsin and arctan
  • Visual right triangle diagram with dimension labels

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the hypotenuse?

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, located directly opposite the 90-degree right angle.

How does the Pythagorean formula solve for a missing leg?

If side c (hypotenuse) and side b (leg) are known, the missing leg is calculated as a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2).
