this 'equation' which solves what the hypotenuse of a triangle is, is called the Pythagoras Theorm ( DISCLAIMER: thisonly work for right angled triangles)it works like this: lets say the horozontial length of the triangle is 6cm and the perpindicular height is 8cm. Because the square of the hypotenus is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides we can work out the hypotenuse like this bas eon the facts that one side is 8cm long and the other 6cm. Lets call the hypotenuse h 8cm2 + 6cm2 = h2 64 + 36 = h2 100 = h2 square root of 100 = h 10cm = h I hope that this solves your question
