Hypotenuse of Right Angled Triangle Calculator

Calculate Hypotenuse





Formula

The formula to calculate the Hypotenuse (H) is:

\[ H = \sqrt{h^2 + B^2} \]

Where:

Definition

The Hypotenuse of a Right Angled Triangle is the longest side of the triangle and is opposite the right angle (90 degrees).

The Height of the Right Angled Triangle is the length of the perpendicular leg adjacent to the base.

The Base of the Right Angled Triangle is the length of the base leg adjacent to the perpendicular leg.

How to calculate Hypotenuse

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ H = \sqrt{h^2 + B^2} \]

Evaluating:

\[ H = \sqrt{8^2 + 15^2} \]

The Hypotenuse is 17 m.
